Ms462 crank question.

Man, I just went scrolling through the for sale section here and just happens, he's got a really clean 064 for sale right now at this very moment. $1375 buys a lot of ammo though.

Learn to reload … then you can get the saw!

A well done 462 isn’t devoid of torque one bit. Much smaller and lighter than a 461, but there is not replacement for displacement when it comes to grunt. The same bore with a longer stroke will give a 461 an advantage in grunt with both saws done in a similar matter. But the 462 is much more agile and light. I’d rather have a 462 for regular use, a 261 for smaller stuff and a 661 or 395 when the big stuff comes in.

My ported 462 has quickly become my go to saw. It’s the one saw that can pretty much do it all, always start, and be light enough to swing around-even with my shoulder arthritis.

This is from 3 days ago in dry hickory. It doesn’t lack torque for its size.

Started reloading shotgun when I was 11, metallic cartridges when I was 14. Just finished case prep on about 3k pieces of 223/5.56. It's still cheaper in the long run but it's nowhere near as cost effective as it used to be.

I traded my 441 for the 462 because of my lower back. And now I've got a jacked up shoulder as well. Diet and exercise really helped the lower back, the shoulder has its moments.

Your saw looks a lot stronger than mine.

Luckily I still have lots of components from years ago …

Looks like a lot of the 348 stuff has been discontinued.

I was fortunate in that I inherited a lot of my bigger reloading components from my grandfathers. Out of thirteen grandkids I was the only one to take an interest in loading. I've added to it over the years.

Very interesting. What did you get for compression ?

Never checked.

That saw is impressive; but I watched the video 3 times for the Yankee commentary at the end

I'd run it...
