JesterGrin, you said it very well. This is what I keep trying to tell people in California. For the hobbyist reloader, the Classic Turret Press will serve very well.

Eventually the plastic ratchet does seem to wear, after several thousand rounds. Fortunately, they're very inexpensive to replace.

If I were allowed only one press, it would be the Classic...

You're welcome, glad they helped!

A buddy has the RCBS Uniflow and loves it.

I use Lee's Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure for my .45 Colt loads, both mild and "wild". The mild load uses Titegroup, and the "wild" load uses a hefty...

Ah, thanks.

Hmm...I haven't broken a cam lever for some time, but still, this sounds interesting.

Actually, it was a cow, and yes, it went from port to starboard. These were the original US Army tests on cattle cadavers from something like the year 1910. Despite its low-ish pressure level, the...

My choice is the Lee 452-200-RF. Works great in 1911's and plastic guns, even with the wide-ish meplat. Was originally bought for light .45 Colt, but it worked so well in .45 ACP also that I just...

I finally have a use for the Lee FCD.

Started loading .45 ACP recently. Been playing around with a couple of .45's, one plastic, one a 1911. The 1911 has a tighter chamber, so the 0.453" boolits...

I have to agree with the others here. The OP could do as he describes, but Mosin rifles really aren't that expensive, and they're good shooters. The ballistics are somewhere between .308 and...

Since I use primarily Lee 6-cavity moulds, this caught my eye. Can someone explain the specific advantages of these aftermarket plates and cam levers over the stocker aluminum ones?

Thanks!

And finally, the Loadmaster.

I bought a used Loadmaster from someone for about $120. This was complete with everything except the dies (even included the case collator). Had the recently...

Now, regarding Lee's aluminum moulds. I use primarily the 6-cavity models. They're just that much faster than any 2-cavity mould I've ever seen. That cam-action sprue plate handle is a godsend. ...

Well, here's a real-world update re: the Pro 1000 progressive press. I've got two of these, one for small primer rounds, and one for large primer ones.

My small primer Pro 1000, which is set up...

So, Mr. Prevec has shown us top-notch quality with his moulds, and people are now complaining that he cannot make them fast enough for their taste? I'd say that's a pretty good "problem" for him to...

Remember that when lead melts, its liquid form will form right around all that apparatus in the middle of the pot. Fill it up to the top, and it'll be right around 10lb. Lead is pretty heavy stuff,...

I just processed two full 5-gal buckets. When I was done, I had maybe five muffin ingots.

Yeah. Five ingots.

I just started picking them out by hand. It was faster that way and uses way less...

Lee made casting affordable for me. Their 6-cavity moulds and handles, the Pro 4-20 pot, at affordable prices? I was all over that. One of 'em's even a custom Keith 357 mould. The only moulds I...

Lee's been good by me. Just check out my reloading videos, and you'll see it's pretty much all red. No, it ain't Cadillac gear (well, the Classic series is, but not the other ones), but it doesn't...

WC860 is hardly universal. That's a very slow powder generally used for .50 BMG. It also has applications in very overbored cartridges such as .30-378 Weatherby Magnum or 7mm RUM. It has ZERO...

Ruger and Rossi. Rugers because the actions are so doggone smooth, and Rossi because (unlike older Winchester 94's) Rossi's are actually affordable.

First, the Rossi, along with a couple o'...

If you can find one, a Ruger 96/44 is a terrific lever-action in .44 Magnum. You think the older Winchester actions are slick? Bill Ruger really did it right with the 96/44. Think of it as an...

Here's how I run mine.

Part 3 goes into some specifics regarding the Safety Prime. There's a little bit of a trick to it, but once...

Also, if you have access to a somewhat softer alloy, this might help as well. Even if your boolit's a hair small, obturation can save you. This happened for me with some slightly undersized...

Right on, Balta. Looks like you did really well. 20K boolits? That's some serious casting, there, so nice going!

I've got a couple of Miha's moulds, and they are good stuff. You're right in...

This is interesting, as I've been thinking about a 5-station press for some time now. I've been holding off because of what I've heard about the Loadmaster's priming system (took me a little bit to...
