A lot of great information John, thank you. I am happy to see that the Ingenuity Precision works with the Sartorius. I have been using an older lab grade CP-64 for some time. Love the accuracy, far beyond what is needed for reloading but talking with IP, he indicated that it should work and would be happy to help sort out the pin adjustment if needed. Happy Thanksgiving.

Really great stuff. I am not shooting in competition (yet haha...but never say never) but feel better that I use much of the equipment you listed (of course a lot of the equipment on my bench is because you, or Cortina...or Gavin have reviewed and recommended)...and the equipment that I don't use gives me some "upgrade" room on the bench. I really like this type of video that educate as well as inform. Congrats on your recent win! (heading over to your website to check it out).

I’m no longer a competitor, (former knuckle dragging highpower competitor), but loading for precision is loading for precision. That said, you have a fortune invested in your equipment. I do also but accumulated it over 30 something years. Zero and V4 excepted. Thanks for the show & tell. And congratulations on your recent win.

John thanks for sharing all you tools that you use to be at the top of your game .Congratulations before I forget again. You have so much money invested in these products. I love to compete but never could spend that much money . I do have the auto V-3 trickler 120 scale ,the best big investment ever . Just won my first short range benchrest shoot in years of competition.Yes first place has a way better feel than just been on the podium. I think staying out of my head and not watching the scores made it possible in the big winds .Thanks again for all you share ,your ups and downs.

@xxshiftlockxx 6 ай бұрын

So with using an arbor press, did I understand you say you don't use the dial indicator on it? Can you elaborate a bit more as to why? I thought the whole reason to use an arbor press is so you can see the seating force across every bullet, and group them accordingly?

John- there’s something going on with your audio. You will be talking and, of course, when it gets to the most interesting part, the audio cuts out. Lots of cut outs, 1-4sec in length, especially in the first 1/3 of video. 28:10- just did it again as I was typing. Thought you would want to know.

And they keep gaslighting us by saying inflation isn't as bad as we think. Just 6 months after this video, the base price of the 750 is $859... 16% increase in 6 months! Don't get me wrong, I've had my 650 for better than 25 years, and knowing what I do, I would still recommend them, but WOW.

@robertackerman5621 7 ай бұрын

So you no longer use the amp press? Cortina used to use a water pressure arbor before switching to an AMP and has made videos about diagnosing equipment problems in the reloading cycle with it. Don’t see the need for it any more or what?

@FClassJohn 7 ай бұрын

I still have it and use it but only when I'm testing something but not for everyday use. I did however forget to add it to the list and will do so. My biggest issue is the space it takes up and having to use a computer with it. It's not always convenient for everyday use. Erik has more room and a dedicated computer with his and I agree in its use to find problems.
