Re: Trying to decide on what .204 is the best

hozz: Again, get the best you can afford. The Ohler 35P would be the top choice, but my Chrony Beta has been chugging along now for more years than I can remember, and it didn't break the bank. If you get a Chrony, use it for a few years, you can always step up to an Ohler, as the Chrony would sell...

I couldn't deal with the sight picture/eye relief of the Leupy 4.5-14 either. Was able to sell it and got a Nikon Monarch instead. :wink:

mudturtle, Thanks for the recommendation but have BTDT with the CZ's and don't want any more of that.... :oops: Plus I don't want to mess up any pretty wood as I can get in thick stuff and get it wet pretty easily...

Re: Lee Auto Prime

Lee Auto Prime Install appropriate tray (LR/SR) and shell holder, fill with primers, and go nuts. It has a very good feel while seating the primers. What I like best about it is I can sit in the living room and pretend to watch TV with the wife while I push primers. But let's not tell her that. ;) ...
