A misfire or delayed ignition on a trophy elk is unacceptable. The moisture resistance alone justifies the purchase.
While the press accepts standard 7/8”-14 threaded dies, the "Exclusive" package comes with a custom-matched set of .30 caliber carbide dies. Key highlights:

For long-range shooters, an SD above 15 fps is unacceptable. In independent tests, ammunition processed with the Reloader Activator 30 Exclusive reduced SDs by an average of 35-40%. A typical .308 Winchester load with a standard primer might produce an SD of 18 fps. After treatment, that same load averaged an SD of 11 fps.
Unlike older mercury-based or chlorate activators, the Reloader Activator 30 Exclusive leaves no corrosive salts behind. It will not pit your bore or damage your brass. Furthermore, it does not abrade your firing pin or breech face.
