Default sizing die

I am impressed with the Swinglock adjustable sizing die.



It fits a standard press such as my rock chucker



and is adjustable in small enough increments to get that perfect fit\



it sizes quickly and easily. I have to admit that for sabotless shooters its a great tool for sure .

I think using this die and weighing my powder charges should tighten groups up a little I hope.

Sure will. At least I know for a fact the weighing your charges will. I try to always do that. Even for range work, I don't like to take my scale out to the range (damn thing cost a fortune) I load up a bunch of charge tubes at home. If I end up shooting all those and still want to shoot more I will switch to volume.

Tom's adjustable sizing dies have been the "gold standard" for quite some time on Dougs board.

Looks like a great tool especially for those who cast their own bullets for multiple ML's or for those 5% who like to tweak their bullets.

Ed, surely - you belong to the 5% club - maybe even part of the club that is a bit OCD!

Very nice. It looks much easier then me pulling down my box of sizing dies and going through them to find the one I want. Very nice!!
