How does this compare to the rcbs primer pocket swager combo 2? Is this faster? easier?

I really cannot answer that due to never the one you are asking about. I cannot see how it can be much better because the one I purchased it's great.

The combo 2 requires it to be installe in a press. This is stand alone and can be used almost anywhere. They both end up achieving the same result. Once you get the hang of it I would say it is faster and easier.

This just has a few updated effects, but essentially the same features. I'd recommend the RP360 if you want an upgrade. -Andy

I have not used the RCBS separator. I have used my Lyman for several batches and have not broken it yet but I am careful with it. It's plastic and a big batch of brass can get heavy. .222 is about as small as it will handle. Hornet brass goes right through with the media. I went the soap, water and SS media route and love it! I wish the SS media was shorter as it tends to hang up in small brass and I wish the separator had smaller opening. I shoot a lot of hornet. If you go the wet route, the separator works much better for me with the tub full of water.

It has more radio channels than PocketWizard II which you may find in a wedding shooter situation or in pro sports event shooting situation--The PocketWizard Plus III gives you more channels and the flexibility to change channels easily--my favorite feature is the groups feature and you can set your lights into 4 different groups to trigger--this is super useful when setting up lighting in a studio situation.

I've just used it for slide scanning, and it's a manual, one at a time operation, but it goes remarkably fast. I literally had hundreds of slides and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to scan them once I got in a rhythm.

Really depends on your shooting style and preference. I have both versions, but i prefer the twist. Its faster for my setup. I have no problems with the quality of both versions, they work great.

I find this device is better than Flexsmart. I used Flexmart but the quality of the MPOW is much better. I use it at volume 18 and the person on the other end can hear me good and i can here them good as well. I recomend the MPOW.

I bought my S510 with Rack2 filer and I haven't used it yet. I have scanned 1000's of doucuments this past tax season. Love the S510. The Adobe program was easy to use for saving & organizing my documents, I never saw reason to use the Rack2.

This is true. I thought I can make use of Rack2 better than the ScanSnap software but I was wrong. With Rack2, the documents are filed using a proprietary folders (directory) format so you will have to go to Rack2 to know what is within those folders unlike the standard ScanSnap software. The best scenario will be a Rack2 frontend with ScanSnap backend but, for some reasons, Fujitsu decided not to implement it that way.

The priming tool has adaptors for large and small primers and they each have an area that funnels into the base of the shell holder. With RCBS shell holders I've had to drill part of that base area on a couple of them in that center area to enlarge the width of the hole. Fairly simple. I do have some lyman holders but havent used one yet so I dont know if they will fit easily over that funnel, but the base part should be the same as RCBS. It has worked with a Lee holder I've used so I'm thinking all of them are basically the same. The Lyman holders fit easily into my RCBS press.

Vuescan is fantastic and far more affordable than Silverfast which is outrageously priced. Mr Hamrick is great about support. He personally answers most questions in 24-48 hours via email. I would recommend the Pro version as it is much more flexible. I use Vuescan with my Coolscan 5000 and current Epson scanner.

Depends if you want a standard thumb spring assist or flipper. It's kind of preference. The Blur opens with a hell of a kick, though, and has no guard - so be wary of your grip. If you're considering throwing down $150 for the buck you may as well consider the Spyderco Southard, it's the nicest flipper I've had the pleasure of owning, even without an assisted opening it flies open as fast as any.

That is not what I got. Mine had the T Handel. FYI the RCBS is a much better unit. It is faster, easier to use and way more accurate. The only thing i liked better about the hornady was the vertical position of the attachments and the smaller footprint. I sent the hornady back and bought the RCBS. Couldn't be happier.

I don't have either of those air guns so I can't make the comparison. As someone pointed out after my original review, you should not dry-fire the RWS Model 34 because it will eventually damage it. It's loud when dry fired. When shooting a pellet, it's about as loud as a hand-held, manual staple gun (not a pneumatic stapler - just the one you squeeze with your hand like the Arrow staple gun that takes T50 staples).

It has been a long time since I tried home brewing, but from what I remember (and from studying the culinary arts for many years), I would suggest that the digital thermometer would be more accurate than the IR (I also have one of those and use it almost daily). Unless you already have an IR, don't buy one just for this. If you already have one, try them both out. I am sure you will find this digital the best of the two by far. :) (Right on KWS...it is not "instant", but 5 secs or so is about as instant as you can get without spending $100 or more)

The PRS-300 and the PRS-600 are both newer models. The 505 preceded the 700. The PRS-700 was originally intended as a successor for the PRS-505 (it's faster - and has that input capability that a touchscreen gives you). The PRS-505 in turn was the replacement for the PRS-500. However, the 700 (despite being in many ways quite similar to the 505) had certain specific flaws (and a couple of benefits). It, unlike the 505, has a touchscreen, and it also has a light embedded underneath the touchscreen and above the eInk screen. On the plus side that means you can read in darker places without carting a little light around with you, but on the down side it and the touchscreen combined made for a screen that wasn't quite as readable as the 505. In short, yes, basically the 700 has been replaced by the PRS-600, which is pretty similar with slightly better readability, I think also a dictionary, but no embedded light. The PRS-300 is a smaller, cheaper, but otherwise very familiar touchscreen-less PRS-505ish device, except that it contains no expansion slots, and is therefore not terribly useful if you're the sort of person who wants to carry the entire Project Gutenberg in your pocket ;) Speaking for myself I'm pretty happy with both the PRS-700 and the PRS-600 models, despite the somewhat diminished readability - I have never owned a 505 so can't comment except to say that I've seen the screens on them and they are astonishingly clear and paper-like. I would probably buy a PRS-300 if I had the cash and it had a memory expansion slot! Hope that helps...
