I don't own a 700NE, but in my experience, nothing I've ever loaded can be described as "maraca-like" unless I have really messed up.

The last press I picked up was from a local classified ad: Dillon 650 with case feeder. All 4 shell plates 4 tool heads with powder measures/powder dies Also the fancy stands for them Strong mount, bullet tray, roller arm upgrade. 9mm dies, and I think 45 ACP dies. 3x shell plates, 1/2/3/5...

I mean, you don't have to feel guilty if you make me a deal! I could use some for the 416/404JEF wildcat rifle I picked up so I don't have to actually ruin good 404J rounds.

I did not know you two years ago, but I kind of feel like if I had, I'd have been mad at you for not telling me that there was a Sako Finnbear 375 on the shelf at a LGS for $900 with an owner willing to deal. ;)

I think when I did the math once, a kind of mid range setup could be had for about $800. I compared that to my cost of making 375H&H --- at the time, I think most rounds were $8/ea compared to component cost making it $1.50/ea for a cost savings of 6.50. Basically meaning the break-even point of...

Nope, everything is gone and delivered.

Awesome report!

I hope he's talking to @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION

Truth be told till your comment I kind of forgot that my 1917's qualified here. They've all been reworked over the years. This one was a Winchester pedigree IIRC. It was redone to 375 H&H and was the first safari-class rifle I owned. And the first thing that drove me into reloading incidentally.

Dang, I totally went right over that thinking it was something else, I'm so used to looking at my little one.

No one has posted a trapdoor yet?? How about this 1884 Trapdoor Carbine. Best I can tell it was manufactured in 1889. All original except it got a recoil pad at some point, and the bar/ring on the opposite side have gone missing.

I wish I could answer more questions, but I confess.... it's not really mine. But that's probably good news for a lot of people because I'd eat that entire 4000 pounds myself. I love cheese.

Man, I was JUST getting ready to post this too but I guess there goes my market!

One time I caught a sale on the pelican carry-on sized piece on Amazon as used/$40. It seemed odd so I checked out the company and apparently they were a medical device place that used them for equipment storage. I bought something like 20 of them and flipped them at 150 each on ebay and then...
