I tend to think most of the rifles I buy will appreciate mostly. The Wood stocked ones with either nice blueing or great metal. The other ones with carbon stocks and more of a working rifle should maintain value at a minimum.
You can set the machine to drop at whatever you want. Meaning if the charge is meant for 60 grains a charge of 59.98 to 60.02 is acceptable and the machine green lights it. I fooled around with the settings a bit early on and this was the most useful for me.
I have a SuperTrickler Jim and can’t say enough good about it. Its scale is accurate to the .01 grain which is way more than I need but I know my charges are spot on. It’s fast as well, dumping 65 grains of 26 in about 7-10 seconds. Maybe crazy to spend that money but it does work great and is...

What about the grand old 444? I have heard it is the same case head size as the 06.. Might be able to make that work and in a bolt gun, I can't see anything stopping that, as far as deer species.
You aren't kidding. I remember when I reloaded in my garage with a bench about 4ft long and made good ammo. Now I have 4-6ft benches and it's still a mess.
