Redding T7

Field Time, I'll have to check them out. Thanks CED

Another vote for the T7. Can generally keep 2+ calibers in one head too.

HEre is my ONE question that I have not been able to find an answer for yet. CAN YOU SWAGE on a T-7? Because I heard that it does have flex. I thought they were wrong, by looking at it though I am like, DAMN I hope that thing is as solid in real life as it looks, but if it flexes and you can not swage, then it is worthless to me. It is a 1992 Cadillac. It may go fast, but it gets that stress crack on the fender and costs $400 to take it in for an oil change...

If you plan on doing a lot of swaging, consider the Big Boss II instead. The T7 could probably take it but I'm sure the Big Boss II would be much better suited for that application.

Noted, but prolly not gonna happen. I want a turret for maximum utility value and as little a footprint as possible. I am after the hollywood turrets, but was originally thinking of going for a redding t7.

I've done everything on my T-7; swaged, FL sized those thick HXP cases, necked down wildcat cases, etc and it does not flex. It has a large support cast into the rear of the frame that rides about .001" below the turret, so when you apply pressure to a die in front the turret is fully supported.

I have a T7 it is nothing short of awesome, I also have a Lyman T-Mag 2 it is also a brute having them both is a blast, either one one is a good choice, although the T7 edges out the T-Mag I love them both

I'm saving for a T7 so I can set it up dedicated for bullet swaging

[stilly]

Redding responded to me telling me that those folks that use a t7 for swaging are going to prematurely wear out their linkage. So when your linkage wears out, please report that in the forum. I might still get one, since I rather bullet size and primer pocket swage instead...

What bullet swaging dies do you use?

You realize that the support in the rear comes into effect AFTER the flexing happens right?

No *****, sherlock. If the die is adjusted so the linkage cams over slightly, after the .001" of flex occurs, then there is no further flex.

I guarantee there is additional flex.
If you are not observing it, it means your measurement methods are faulty.
