Starting to Reload .45, 9mm, .223

Paul : That's cool - I haven't looked at the Lock'n'load setup.

Ice : What you say is true.

My own experience with cheap electronic scale sends me back to the beam scale.

Corey: I'll spend a little time going through my stuff here - I likely have a spare Auto-prime with some shell holders but for now the press system will prime just fine.

The press you can have for whatever it costs me to bring in another the same. Likely a c-note.

You may have access to an RCBS powder measure, which will work fine for rifle, but really won't likely do for the tiny pistol charges. The Lee disc system is just fine - If it is too much to buy separate there - Dang - then I gotta buy a new one of them too and send you my whole rig. I can likely spare an extra turret for you - I think I have ten of them.

You need a scale - I use a cheaper RCBS which works fine, but doesn't weigh up to bullet range of weights.

I had a look at the die from Lee that you referred to. Don't plan to not trim. Another thing - if you only neck-size for a semi, function may not be perfect. The case must still be lubed if you full-length resize - always. The ten-times case life claim may be slightly (or grossly) exaggerated.

This topic will likely turn into an equipment exchange topic once I check the closet.
