I have had the classic turret for well over a decade now. It is built plenty strong and any case you can get in the throat doesn't stress it in the least. Big 30 cal rifle is a piece of cake. It...

I always tell them to go ahead if they are certain sure reloading is for them. If they can change their own car tire, do basic service on their vehicles, or thread an old sewing machine, they can...

No different than the panic after sandy hook.
It is not going to be the new normal, but the panic is going to last for a year or two. It certainly might get worse before it gets better.
For the...

I have seen them go off after being soaked in motor oil for a couple days.
The best way to dispose of them is to load them and shoot them.

Longer than the average American's life span.
A century, probably a lot longer as long as corrosion free and the sealer is intact. Primers are a lot harder to kill than folks realize.

6000 rounds a year is a pittance for something like a 650/750, that is 125 a week. Best bang for the buck would be the Lee classic turret. If you have the 1 hour each week to use it. Cheap caliber...

So much has been discussed over the years on the double charge and how to avoid it. Never load when you can not see in to the case, I use the lock outs on pistol, the dillon alarm for rifle, but I...

LED, bright, can move it from press to press, or adjust it to get a good look at something in the hands while loading.
Feel free to spend...

One of the best deals in reloading, still. I would guess quite a few thousands of those little red hand presses have gotten a lot of frugal reloaders started in the hobby over however many decades...

The adjustable charge bars work well, I run those.
For anyone wanting to skip the 12 bucks and waiting, this will do the trick too.

I have a couple of the pro disk measures. I like them a lot. I never noticed a lot of powder getting away, but I load hp 38 and AA2230(that one is pretty fine). I get more powder 'bounce' filling...
Whoa, a thread risen up from the dead.
It is hard to keep a good thing down and hidden. The Lee business concept has always been about great value for your dollar. The hand press is an outstanding...

The Lee is easily double the speed of any single stage press, with the same safety margin.
You are comparing an auto-indexing turret to a couple single stage presses with extra die storage. Bad...

Batch loading on a turret, interesting concept. Silly as can be, though. Why even bother?
A turret press will speed up manufacturing a single cartridge by threefold, because you are not handling...
A person can find complaints about most brands of reloading components(brass and primers are a popular gripe) if they look for them. I have quite a bit of S&B brass and it is some of the best 9mm...

The gavintube guy has a review up on the Lee, you could tell he was shocked at how well it works. The green bench primer is like most of their stuff, heavily built, overpriced, and middling...

Probably an unpopular view, but I think those "must have" press lighting systems are a great way to throw money away.
This one was around $10, and I can direct it anywhere I please, even out in...

All powder measures that operate on volume have the exact same tolerance of 0.2(two tenths of a grain), it does not matter if it is the 20 dollar Lee Perfect, or a 300 dollar harrell. You are welcome...

Lock out die, only one I'd trust. The powder cop dies that you have to look at are a waste because you are already looking in every case, right?

Last I checked 50 dollars on Amazon. I have the 12 gauge and have not really had a chance to use it(I am only going to try slugs and buck). I am glad I have it, and it looks to be quite a bit...

As good as any.
I prefer an old beam.

Good trimmer, and probably the fastest lathe type out there.

No, the Lyman is a different scale, lacking the micro adjustment thumb wheel set up of the 10-10.
I have both scales.

The 10-10s are still on Amazon. I just checked and added one to my cart. The Lyman M5 is not the same scale. I have both.

Hornady has the rep for never admitting anything they made has a problem. It is amusing, until you are the one trying to resolve an issue. Lyman CS has went the way of many of their products. They...
