Arbor press/ inline dies worth it?

[greyghostnw]

Currently use forster co ax press, forster fls sizing die with expander out for body and use in conjunction 21 century turning arbor and die to size, forster micro seating dies. Happy with results other than occasional bell of sizing die (vld) can become flared, stuck. Taken apart etc. not often… 1000 rounds on 300 rum for example. Yet the curiosity has me wanting to try inline say le wilson/km arbor with standard pack. The bullet central micron are not in 300 rum so not option unfortunately. The amp id consider later as i like the annealer. I can feel any deviation in pressure seating currently and its obvious when you need to turn micro head more to seat bullet. Those then become fowlers already…Thanks in advance.

If you’ve ever wanted to try them it is kind of fun having a little arbor press on the bench. However, I don’t hear many guys saying it increased accuracy much, unless their rifle is very accurate. Personally, if a rifle shoots large numbers of bullets into 1/2 MOA or above I just use normal seating dies. Below 1/2 MOA inline dies.

Currently single digit velocity etc… not sure if any improvements there.

inline dies like wilson work well but are not necessarily any mor accurate when compared to custom seating dies.

they are however very fast to seat bullets when compared to a single stage press. there is much less wasted motion if you place bullets and brass near the abor press.

I am not sure it make better ammo but I do love my arbor press, it makes great ammo and I keep track of seating pressure just for kicks. It’s a fun toy, not sure will improve your shooting.

In-line seaters have the potential to make the "straightest" ammo possible, and are great for getting consistent seating depth. If that's the kind of thing that matters to you, they might be worth it. The problem is that they aren't meant for compressed loads, so they don't work well for that.
