Smeeg Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) The Lyman dies look very nice for the price time will tell. Also hope the new trimmer is reasonably priced. At first I was skeptical of Lyman buying mark 7 there at the opposite ends of price point/quality hopefully Lyman sees them as there high end line and keeps it that way. So far seems like it’s working out. Edited May 1, 2020 by Smeeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avastcosmicarena Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 I couldn't wait and bought the Redding dies and some FW dies for 9mm. I still need a few .223 dies though. I might try the Lyman Pro dies for the things I don't already have from FW Arms if they hurry up and come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I had to order a mishmash of dies. I’m even going to have to do a bit of machining using the new UniqueTek 9mm funnel for loading.358 coated. I’ll cut it down and use inside a Lee Universal Case expander. the Lyman professional dies are out but Lyman won’t ship for a month due to Covid If buying direct. Didn’t see them anywhere else online. Got the MA decap, hold down and seat. Stuck with Lee U die and FCD -but ordered new. I forgot how much it’s $$$ to ship to Canada! Used to going down to the states once a month and having a mini Christmas at our PO Box in Niagara Falls NY. Just got my press yesterday, oh boy it’s a lot of parts.

OptimiStick Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Back when I did mine it was MA decapping and swage-backer dies and a Lee universal expander (with DAA funnel) and redding sizer, seater and crimp. I change out to FW Arms decapping and swage, Lee U-die and Lee FCD. I recently changed back over to Redding crimp testing some things out. Honestly, they've all worked just fine. I have an Alpha dropper I'll put in there also just....because. I think the only ones I have a strong opinion on are the redding seater and Lee U-die. I do like the FCD and don't have any bullet swaging issues, but it collects a lot of gunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I am running a Lee U-die, Lyman Pro hold down, M-die, Redding Comp Seating die and Lee FCD die. All have worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avastcosmicarena Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Was told the new trimmer and primer system are just due by the end of the year now. I think they've had supplier delays.

MikeyScuba Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It doesn't flare on the powder measure. It simply dumps powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought the Redding expander. IIRC, I bought all three of those from UniqueTek but I don't believe they carry them anymore. I've also switched to the Redding Titanium Carbide sizing side in place of the MA sizing die due continuing issues with the MA dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Candiru - If I may ask what continuing issues are you having with the MA dies. I just purchased a couple of MA dies but have not mounted because my EVO has not delivered yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results weren’t what I was hoping for, especially the crimp die. Ended up going back to my old setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
