I got caught short after Obama's 1st election. Learned my lesson. Now I try to keep a 4 year supply at minimum!

2 Lee Pro Auto dics, 1 set lee dippers, 1 RCBS uniflow MEC Charge bars

If I could have only one press it would be the Lee Classic Turret. Hands down!

HP 38, AA#5,and Bullseye work well for me
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Lee works as well for me as any other brand. I own dies by most manufacturers but all of my last several die purcases have been Lee. My future purchases will be too.
I load 125 and 147gr lead from Missouri Bullet Co,Friendswood Bullets, and ZCazt. I've loaded RN,TC,and SWC styles in 125 gr and FP in 147gr. Midrange loads with AA #5 & 7,Bullseye,and HP38 all work...

I use some 125 gr SWC from Missouri Bullet company. They shoot equal to or better than any 125 gr 9 mm I've tried.
I've been using MBC for over a year now. Great bullets at as good of price as you can find for Quality bullets and customer service that is second to NONE.
I sent Alliant an email about lead bullet loads. This is the response from Ben Ammonette for 9MM.
9mm Luger
115 gr lead bullet
Bullseye start 4 grs max 4.5 grs
Unique start 4.5 ...

The more I use the Lee lock rings the better I like them. I only use one ring per die and don't have any problems.

Mostly Powder Valley but I also use Recob's and Gamaliel.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
When I get ready to buy I compare between Midway, Midsouth Shooters Supply, Natchez Shooters Supply, & Graf's. For supplies I add Powder Valley, Recob's, and Gamaliel's.

Here are some picc of mine after adding Jim's Rock Risers.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yep! He's right.I added one last year and love it. My old RC doesn't see much us now. I recommend the Pro Auto Disc and the Safety Prime System. Be sure as was mentioned to get the riser for the...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Folks I got the risers from Jim. Great work. Here are some pics of the bench after I installed the risers on the Rockchucker and Classic Turret.I may have to order one of the 2" for my Mec 600 Jr.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
My bench has a 1" plywood top on top of a 2 1/4" pine lumber top. It should be fine. If you had enough clearace you could turn the mount half around and wouldn't it negate the leverage effect? I only...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Mine came today.One for the Rockchucker and one for the Lee Classic Turret. Great job Jim. Well made and nice work..Ya'll better order one!
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Worked up some 45 ACP 200 gr cast bullet loads using a taper crimp die and some with the FCD. Everything else was the same. Out of MY GUN the FCD shot a tighter group. YMMV.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I use a RCBS 502 balance and a RCBS Rangemaster 750 digital. Both are very accurate and I would reccommend either of them.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Reloading is a hobby that will grow on you!LOL. Most people wind up with LOT's of toys.I know!
5 Gr of AA #5 with a 125 gr Missouri Bullet Co 9 cone or swc works well for me. Data at http://www.accuratepowder.com/
My 200 gr swc load is 5 gr of Bullseye. Anything under 4.8 gr won't cycle in my pistol, Also the 5 gr load is my most accurate.
I load the all the time.. Great bullet,no leading for me
