Lover the super simplex,
I have 3 of them so i don't need to set up the turrent for the different sizes.
All the pistol rounds i use are FLR but the bottle neck rifles are just neck resizing but as i only use the cases for one rifle it's no biggie.
I can use the 30-30 neck size dies for the 308 as well and 303 brit for 7.62 x 54R as both are .312
every time i make a phone order to www.simplexreloading.com.au the very professional staff get my order to me fast

I have a Super Simplex, which I intend to load .357 magnum with. I have not played with it much yet, but I am curious about die set up. Do I screw the FLS die down to touch shell holder to get set up? I have not loaded much straight wall stuff. Any tips greatly appreciated.

knowsnothin wrote:Ive been given a super simplex press, was rusty by it came up all right (useable).

As far as i can tell these require proprietary dies and will not take the standard 7/8 dies.

Worth keeping as i need to start reloading?

or flog it and buy RCBS kit?


There is one on Ebay at the minute, last bid I saw was around 180 posted!!! Not what I would pay for one but......100 is fair I think.
