    Couple q's
    Where do you source your brass? do you buy components direct from the manufacturer?
    What do you use for crimped military brass?
    What is your setup like from brass prep to resizing and loading? If your using a progressive are you happy with the accuracy of the powder thrower? Dou you have a auto bullet and case feeder? Pics and details of your setup would be cool? I'm looking into a progressive. Just wondering how you do yours. Sorry if its a lot.

    Thanks

          Chief, try wearing leather gloves when using the Giraud, it helps a lot!

              Can't speak for Chief, but I can tell you my setup.

              1) - Brass - indoor range
              2) - Bullets - Bulk from Montana gold
              3) - Dillion swager takes care of my crimped primer pockets
              4) - 1 tool head for resize, decap and trim, 1 tool head for loading
              5) - Yes, my powder drop is accurate
              6) - Case feeder yes, bullet feeder no.


              If you intend on loading .223 or 5.56 as your primary, invest in a Dillion Super 1050.

                Why is the trimmer sitting on its side and not upright?

                  It is made to trim either way. It's just personal preference.

                    I have only bought brass once from the range and it was really cheap, that is why I bought it, but other than that, is brass that I have picked up at the range or I have shot

                    What do you use for crimped military brass?

                    Dillon Super Swagger 600, it is in the picture.

                    Man, too many questions, will answer them when I get back from the range Tom. LOL

                            Hes lying either way, the truth is his wrists are sore. The remotes are just evidence left from the scene of the crime.

                            BTW< nice trimmer, that thing is a sweet piece from what I keep reading.
                            Ive only ever read one negative review on that thing and that was from somene that said it left too sharp a edge after trimming the case. Not sure what to make of that, as ive read 50 other reviews and nobody says anything about it. I assume your happy with yours?
