Sorry, but what is a FART? I know Im gonna regret even asking but Im curious.
Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler.
I set up the Forster Co-Ax my wife got me for an early birthday present and processed some 6.5 PRC brass. Man, the Co-Ax is smooth.
Anyone on here tried the Franklin Arsenal coaxial press? The Forster is a beast from what I have read but just cant afford it right now.

Loaded up 10 boxes 410ga 3 inch in 6's shot. Fixing to load for my 280AI. 168 gr berger vld.
What are you using to anneal with buddy? It looks really uniformed.
Loaded up some .243 for my son and some 270 WSM to start load development for me. We will see if they shoot.
What recipe are you using buddy?

Loaded ammo for the Tn State UBR Championship Match this Sat at Dry Branch in Dixon Springs
156 rounds plus enough foulers
6mm PPC , Lapua 220 Russian brass with necks turned for a .2645 measurement on the neck with the 68 gr Barts Avenger BT seated .015 in the lands
CCI 400 primers and 28.35 grs LT32 +/- .005 for 3410 fps
Believe me if it doesn't hit where it's aimed it was the nut behind the triggers fault

My 270wsm seems to like the 130s better and regular h4831 not the short cut
At 3340 fps the 130 does a number on deer
Put together a new Lee press stand and mounted quick release base plates to my three main presses.

Picked up a cardboard box of 223 and 9 brass and did not have the bottom properly supported.
It made a big noise as all that brass hit the deck.
I am going back to my large Maxwell house containers, one for each rifle.

Took all of my dies apart, cleaned, degreased, air-dried, then wiped down with a clean microfiber towel before reassembling. Cleaned the crud off of the rams on my three Lee presses. Wrapped newspaper around them, then sprayed with graphite lubricant. Will be getting busy later today or tomorrow with some .30-30 Win and 35 Remington.
Damn if it didn't turn into an all-day job due to the different calibers I load for.

Those coffee cans are hard to beat for brass containers aren't they?
Can I ask how many grains of Varget?
And yes I realize you are not responsible if I blow my head off with too much powder. Thank
42.5 shot well for me sir.
