All of our presses come with a built in C clamp. We put some padding on the kitchen table and resize there. I’m sure you remember how much pressure it took to size your cases. That isn’t how we do it. Commercial dies resize cases .005 inch. That is way way too much to get the best accuracy out or your rifle. We make resize dies in .0005 increments so you can resize.your case.002. The cases will spring back .001 so they fit in the rifle with almost no play. We only bump the shoulder back .002. Commercial dies bump the shoulder back .005. If you were using commercial dies you could use the hitch on the back of your truck. We use our Combo Press to resize and seat bullets. It has 2 rams one for resize and one to seat bullets. We always use Wilson straight seating dies for bullet seating. They make straighter ammo the the off the shelf dies.
How much better is this? Most reloaders carry their pet target in their wallet. Most of them are in the 3/8 inch range three shot groups. Someone just shot 5, 5 shot groups that all of them were in the zeros as the benchrest shooters say. That means each group measured under .1. In other words each group was the size of a 30 caliber bullet hole. Don’t forget a one mph wind will move a bullet .09 inches and if the sun goes behind a cloud that will make a 1/2 inch difference in the group.
These guys get 3400 FPS our of a 6 mm PPC that only holds 28 grains of power and a 21 inch barrel. A 243 will hold twice as much power for almost the same velocity. The 243 holds way too much power for good accuracy.
Rich look on my web site to see what type of equipment they use. It’s not what you and I started with. Their guns with scope is 10.5 pounds. The scopes are 40 or 45 power. Most of the stocks are western red cedar carbon fiber reinforced. Hard walnut or fiberglass vibrates and makes the gun not shoot as good as it could. The receiver has 2 ports. You load in one port while the rifle ejects through the other. You can shoot faster that way. You wont to put 5 rounds down range as fast as you can before conditions change.
Do a Google search for Toney Boyer. He is the undisputed best benchrest shooter ever. You will find several videos of Tony shooting. You have 7 minutes to shoot. He will normally wait until everyone close finishes. He is also watching conditions when he finds the condition he is looking for he starts shooting and will continue even if conditions change. He knows how to correct for the change.
Watch one of his videos he makes it look so easy. It ain’t.
