I meant to say “<2” at 100 yards”!
Type: Posts; User: Lefty Red
I loved mine! It and a cheap Millet red dot would do >2” at 100 yards with just about any ammo I used. I have some Lee 320gr FRNs loads that would do right at 1”. And I thought it was more...

Call HFTs. I use to work for them last year and they have a new “spare parts” line that is only available by calling. A store should have a diagram of the items they sell parts for so you can get the...

The SDP is my favorite Dillon! I loaded a ton of 38s, 9mm, and 45ACP when I had mine.

Sorry, it’s what Glock calls their recoil spring RSA=Recoil Spring Assembly. For heavier hunting loads I used an aftermarket one so I could adjust the poundage.
In Glocks, yes nothing wrong with shooting 40SW in their 10mm. I’m fact, I carried a G20.3 on duty and used 40SW for a few years until I got a G22 for duty. Also shot that same G20.3 in competitions...

I have the same problem! I went to doing my WC load on a single stage it’s so bad.

I asked this forum WAY back in 2000ish what to do about the excess LLA and it getting into my dies. The compilation of responses were, “if you have excess then you are using too much,” or as another...

I missed my old press that justed deprimed, size bullets, and swaggered. I got one of the newer APPs and hated it. It’s in the trash bin! And I’m no Lee hater, but that thing was poop.

I have, and I just put a 4.5” in layaway. Some of earlier ones had “some” issues, and I say that like that because most YT reviews I saw they tried like hell to break it cause it’s not a Staccato. I...
Had one from this year. Used it on Claude Werner’s online class for snubbies. After 2K snaps, the trigger is smooth as butter. Pistol used was 2” CC hammer version.
Looking at getting a TORO...

I have had and used the T7, L AA8, and the LCT. I truly didn’t see a lick of difference in any of the ammo they produced. I just adjusted my dies to the height of the “slop” and there they stayed.

I had a complete replacement with the reverse socket and head. Was the best thing ever! I was moving it right after surgery. It hurt! But not like before. Is I’m almost two year out from it and have...

Set one of the Lee APPs up for depriming and the other for swaggering, the swagger is in the white tube box I gave you. Good Luck!

Back to just two RC Supremes, a LCT, and Lee APP. Couldn’t be happier. Sold off a 750, 550c, and two more turrets. Just loading 38 WCs and 32 Longs. Life is good.
I’m not happy with most 22lr offers these days, especially the ones from Ruger. If I was to get a 22lr pistol, it would be a TX22 from Taurus. Nothing else in the price range, or even double, matches...
I have a 7 shot GP100 4” and love it. But I would choose a 686+ every time over the GP100. I just can never find in the wild. Only reason I got the GP100 was it was the first 357 4” I have seen in...

BTW, Scheels is a good place to get them at! I picked up my 550 from there with all the stuff to load four calibers. Got it 10% off during an after Christmas sale.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I just always liked the little SDPs. They come with the dies, only a little tweaking needed to start loading. The 550s just seemed to take more time to setup, and as big and bulky as my 750xl without...

LOL, old auto correct got me again! Just like a woman, it thinks it know better than me! LOL
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I never warmed up to the 550s. I know, I’m weird. I like reloading pistol on the SDP, just right! I find the 750 to be too “busy” for me. I like reloading 45/70s or 30/30 or 350 Legend on a turret...

OP, good job with getting a press. I would suggest, and I don’t anyone else has, is get a swaggering setup for your 9mms. I hate reloading 9mm, seems like the specs are all over the place these last...
I feel the OP’s situation with medical bills. And if I may suggest the Taurus GX4 as an inexpensive and very reliable firearm.
Been working the range rental counter for the last few weeks and...

Helped a coworker’s father get set up reloading. His wants and needs sounded a lot like the OP’s. He wanted to get set up for about five or six calibers he wasn’t going to load much for, maybe 1K or...
