Need help buying resizing equipment

[artjr338wm]

Well after digesting the info I received from my last posting on this I decided I should buy a two ton Arbor press and the size adjustable resizing die I have read discussed here.

So all I need to know know is where to buy the two items I listed and how to figure out what the size range is for adjustable resizing die I want to buy.

I feel the adjustable resizing die would be the best rout to go as doing so would eliminate having to know the exact dimension of my 10ML-II barrels OD, and also give me the most flexibility in choosing what size my bullets must be once finished being re-sized and ready for shooting.

I would also appreciate any other tools or items I should buy along with the press and resizing die that those more knowledgeable than myself on resizing bullets considers "must have" items or tools.

I will be using the press and sizing die to re-size boat tailed Barnes all copper TMZs and Spit Fires that I previously knurl up to between .454-.455" to a slightly smaller OD that I will determine by resizing and trying with both Harvester and Barnes factory supplied sabots to determine what size works best out of my 10ML-II.

Thanks.
Arthur.

Look to ENCO for the arbor press. Also, Harbor Freight and Savage Co.

Richard is right to steer you to Enco and Harbor Freight. The last time I looked, Enco had a "house brand" arbor press for much less money than the name brand.

BTW, though, you don't need a 2-ton press, the 1-ton is more than adequate.


What I found, though, in my own re-sizing with the Swing-Lock die is that it wouldn't fit in the arbor press; just too long for it. The good news is that a regular press works easily with the Swing-Lock, so I don't even use the arbor press, anymore, for sizing.

Thanks for the info so far, but it is now obvious I have made something of a mistake, in that I should have explained from the start I have no previous knowledge about resizing bullets or the equipment to do so.

So, I will need the exact name of any tool or piece of equipment I need to order and if possible the item number as well. I especially need the exact name or type of resizing die or dies I will need to do this.

Please format your replies to my request for information as if talking to a complete novice on resizing because you are.

Also is there a company that has a customer rep I can call and discuss what equipment I need to buy as that would be a great help to me.

Thanks,
Arthur.
