I am not interested in an automatic bullet feeding system. I do not want to fill to tubes as I see that as a waste of time. I see little or no speed advantage to an automated bullet feeder as I can have a handful of bullets in my left hand and drop them into the die about as fast as I can operate the press handle. I want a bullet seating die that I can manually load a bullet into the top of and not mess with placing a bullet onto the case. I do most of my loading on a 1050.
My primary calibers are .38 and 9mm. I run cast bullets with traditional lube. So a die that does not need cleaning regularly, or is easy to clean, would be preferred. But it MUST be reliable and not need constant tweaking.
Please share your experience. Any advice will be appreciated.
