Only problem that may arrive is when you need to full length size, but then you could ask and maybe someone here would do them for you. :D RCBS powder throwers are good bits of gear as well. Just check that you got both the tumblers I have spares if you need another, either the small hole one or the big hole one.
Hey Camel,
I've finally found time to do some test loads. 23 to 25 grains of AR2219 with RWS primers and 40 grain Vmax on top. Because I'm a bit anal about things, I weighed every load at 0.2 increment.
Do you still have that small tumbler? PM me please with details.
Simplex makes a full length die for use with a vice. Time consuming but ok if only needed once in a blue moon.
