    Be realistic in your expectations. Sometimes much more expensive equipment , such as "match" dies might shave a very slight amount off a 1.25 MOA rifle. Worth paying double or triple what a standard production die cost for that amount of consistency? If you are shooting an off the shelf production rifle, the manufacturer of the die knows advertising works. If your gun can't use the more expensive equipment to an advantage, why spend more? Add up the cost of "match " type powder measures, dies, length gauges, components, scales, and everything else available, and if your gun can't use it to your advantage, why pay for what you won't be getting?

    Somewhat agree. But you might be surprised at what an off the shelf production rifle can do these days.

    True, I have a Savage 10P in 308 with 5R rifling and a jeweled bolt that I paid $650 for, and have used in several F class competitions. I’m never in the top 5, but everyone else has $10k rifles with scopes that are over $3k.

    that would be handy even if you didn't reload and had a place to pick up brass
    Maybe. My experience is that they don't work perfectly by a long shot. They're best on a flat, concrete range. Picking up brass off soft dirt is sort of a lost cause. But I tend to be terribly ham-handed so YMMV, of course.

    Hmmmm.....then sweep all the brass to the side, pour a pad....sweep it back on....it's just crazy enough to work.

    Do they come in 4WD?

    Shovel and a gold panning pan???

    A brass magnet????

    How about a 6 yr. old kid to do it for you?

    I've got two of the ones from Ace. Use them all the time on my range. We don't shoot on concrete. Grass or dirt.

    There's a knack to using them. Once you have it figured out you can pick up a lot of brass with one.

    Ace? Hardware?

    They sold for picking up Pecans?

    Just curious as I will look if so.
