The gun is the least important part of shooting, to the degree that it's almost irrelevant.
You can win with almost any gun on the production list.
That's not a popular opinion here, but it's true.
The gun is the least important part, but sticking with the same gun is very important. Learning and knowing exactly how your gun fires, recoils, etc is important and will only come with practice with that specific gun. Get a gun you like and stick with it. Shoot the gun for a while before you go and change anything on. Once you know the gun inside out, then you will know what you want to upgrade.

If you want to do pass through get the GRX and a single stage press. The Lee die is not made for pass through. The bottom is sized properly but I doubt they do the level of precision on the top that they do on the bottom. It's probably not far off but I doubt it's as consistent as the sizing part of the die
-
I have used the Redding GRX followed by the Lee u-die and have had very good results. The u-die or the grx by itself are both great but with both together I get almost no issues with barrel or case guage.

Blue bullets have been awesome. If you are not sure or a small quantity of a few different bullets and inspect, measure and load a few of each. See what you like and what works best for you. For coated blue, bayou or SNS and you really can't go wrong
-
Both are great but the Dawson are my preference. I like the grips on the Dawson base pads. I feel like I get a better grip on them

That doesn't seem like a bad price. 25lb is a very good size tumbler for wet tumbling. Gonna require a large amount of stainless steel media

On most forums that accept donations normally give some small little benefit. (e.g. a special category, a different color name, access to a donation only forum section, etc). Just a thought.

STI is sending me a new ejector to try. If that doesn't fix it they will RMA it for repairs.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSTI has awesome support. Hope they get you all fixed up quickly.

Play around with how long you tumble them. I always deprime the brass before wet tumbling so it cleans the primer pocket out really well.

That could have ended very badly!

You need to get a good clear coat or it will come off fairly easy from what I have seen. A friend had it done and it didn't hold up to well by itself

That's what I got at Lowes.
Then you are good to go. That's exactly what you want

if you need a large quantity you can normally get ascorbic acid from almost any pool store.

The only lemishine that I can find is detergent booster granulated. Is that the right stuff for wet tumbling with Dawn?
thanks
that is the lemishine that you should be using, they do sell it at stores like walmart, etc https://www.amazon.com/Lemi-Shine-Hard-Water-Expert/dp/B0071OUD82/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1491402358&sr=8-2&keywords=lemi+shine

grats for a 2nd time =)

that is a lot of dirt but its still a lot cheaper then having an accident. Look around on craigslist and you can normally find dirt for free or pretty damn cheap.
-
if you want to follow the guidelines for ranges the minimum size should be a minimum of 15ft but recommended 20 ft. that's for a range but its a good standard to follow if there is property close behind were you want the berm. If its just a bunch of nothingness then 5-7ft should be plenty.

is there a good link for the game?
-
Wonder how many people fell for it and tried to order them?

6 is not the same as 6.5...
I believe that Hornady does make the dies and brass...I think..m
My bad. I read 6 and creedmoor and my brain automatically went to 6.5 creedmoor.
