Compare it to some others. The Zero is a badass press. My friend is running one (was on the pre-order list and is buddies with one of the 419 shooters). Another guy has been running his redding t7 for years with great results. If I go away from si gle stage for precision, it would be hard to justify the zero after we did die swap tests comparing both presses for induced runout and seating consistency. I might go with the zero just to support Jon's shop.Yeah, I don't load precision anymore. I'll buy an Area 419 or something if I decide to get back to that. Just not a priority.
Yep, I run a separate toolhead for initial brass prep. If I could cut out crimps fast, I'd totally be doing that.
I cut crimps but I grab a handful of cased after decap and spin the Bridgeport in my buddy's shop at about 200rpm. Have a 5c collet that fits a 50bmg chamfer tool in it. Just barely touch the pocket to it, done deal. I sort of wish Giraud had a trimmer head attachment for the job, then I could.watch TV while I worked. They have meplat trimmer heads but nothing for pocket crimps.....
