Re: Did anyone else get "Personal & Confidential" letter from the NRA
I've been a life member since 1988, since I have received nothing, nadda,zip,zilch from the NRA other than the monthly magazine. I spent almost 2 months fighting with the nitwit in membership trying to get a new ID card about 5 years ago. They have me on record but not one person there gave 2 chits ...

Re: Thinking about a new press
Some reviews were that the ball wasn't threaded onto the handle. Others were that the turret had some movement when a shell would enter a die causing the turret to tilt fore & aft. Redding apparently fixed those concerns. Hmm, maybe I'll wait until November and celebrate ( fingers and toes cross...

Re: Thinking about a new press
I have my old RCBS, a little LEE and a Dillon 550. Thousands of round through the RCBS and Dillon the RCBS is showing a little wear on the ram. It has seen mostly rifle ammo. Good to hear the T7 gets high marks, read some reviews that problems were common. Four hundred bucks is a bit to spend on som...

Thinking about a new press
My old RCBS, model long forgotten by me, is approaching 40 years old. Nothing wrong with it but sometimes something new makes a guy feel good! I've been looking at a Redding T7.
