A taste of the good life lol!

I finally stepped up and made my brass processing a little quicker, my fingers are happy. I’ve been using a Franklin Arsenal case trimmer and .300 bo is miserable. There is barely enough of the case to hold onto when trimming. I just swaged, sized and trimmed about 500 pieces of .300 bo brass and wow what a difference the Dillon RT1500 and a Swage It makes!!! Now I got a taste of some of the good life with all this fancy equipment lol!

Lol! I’ll admit I drag my feet until I can justify it in my head with “ I need it”!!

Is your first die a universal depriming or a size die? Also, what are you using for case lube?

The first station is a sizing/decapping die and a swage it. You could just use a universal decapping die and the swage it as the trim die also resizes. I use Hornady one shot lube.

I use a mighty armorery universal in position one then resize when I trim. I use the Dillon case lube but you have to wet tumble to get that off. I think you can just leave the one shot on.

is that mounted on a 550? I need to look into this as I move into 300bo...

Yes, It’s on a 550. I did a total of around 1500 .300 bo on that Frankford Arsenal prep station. Trying to trim them was so bad I stopped until I got the rt1500. Don’t get the trim die from Dillon unless you want the die to show up in 2024. Dillon has the presses and the trimmer, but .300 bo trim dies are way way way back ordered. There are a couple other companies that have trim dies for the rt1500.
