Just received a new xl650, and I’m currently loading for a precision 224 Valkyrie. I want to buy equipment to get me the least possible runout, but I don’t know where to start.
Should I get a floating tool head? Should I get a mandrel die? Is it possible to use a Forster ultra seating die with a floating tool head?
i don’t want to turn necks if I don’t have to, so a mandrel die seems like a good choice. However, I think that would mean getting a separate tool head for the resizing process, which I feel kind of defeats the purpose of the 650. If I got a floating tool head, I’ve read sizing does with a floating stem don’t work very well. Would I then use my standard does?
no one I know has ever used a progressive for rifles, and I’ve only worked with my rock chucker. I’m in the dark and slightly overwhelmed. Please. For the love of guns....help
