Yeah, there have been quite a few people who were not impressed with CH so I don't doubt there have been some problems there.

I also like Redding dies.
They don't look quite as nice as RCBS on the outside but they do work very well or have done for me anyway.
I like the large diameter thread on the decapping rod of Redding and CH.
It is a far better idea than the pissy little thread on the RCBS.

400, just out of interest, what was the actual diameter of the expander which caused the lack of neck tension?

Went to see her today and she is a beauty! Some slight pitting on the bbls, a few nicks here and there and one of the turnscrews had the head broken from being over torqued. Would it be possible to get a new head made for the turnscrew and how would I go about doing this? Is this something George should cover since it wasn't listed in the description or our correspondence?

Anyway, thank you to all for the help in making this dream a reality (and answering all of my silly questions).

Bulldog,
There are no silly questions! There are only silly people who do not ask questions!
JJ can replace the broken screw head.

Bulldog,
That is one sweet looking rifle.
You are a lucky man.

That was a broken turnscrew blade not screw head.
I'm sure JJ could replace that, or you could have it done locally.
It was the very first thing that caught my eye as I opened the case too, I left it in it's place for a while until I'd gotten my eyes on the rest of the contents.

Those bores really are pretty.
Did you catch the light color of metal fouling on the lands?
Had George or JJ shot this rifle prior to shipping it out here to the west coast?
