Pacific is what I bought as my first reloading gear. Press dies and pistol powder measure that used bushings. Think the dies were around 10 dollars.
I started reloading with the 310 and a set of scales and powder funnel for a .243 40 some years ago. It was slow so it sits on the shelf now doing nothing. I did buy adapters to use it in a press.
A set of 310's is what I started out loading 243's with. That was in the early 70's. Still have them but don't use them. Bought some adapters to use them in a press. Looks like I've ben loading ...

Cast some 38 wc last week and could not get the nose to fill out. Using a Lyman mold and wheel weights. Tried again today using a Lee wc mold same problem. Can't find any tin to mix in the wheel...

I have mine bolted to a piece of wood. The wood is long enough for two c clamps. That way when I'm not using it I put it under the bench out of my way. Good way if you don't have a lot of working...

good luck on them. First ones came out good. Most time the...
I use W231 for my 380 with 90g Sierra. Hornady and Speer Gold Dot.
Hodgdon gives data online for W231 for 380's. Use it with my Cast
45 APC loads. Meters good.
Bought a Win 243 in the early 70's with 310 dies. Bought a set of scales and used the 310's for a year. You could say That got me into reloading. Lyman makes a bushing to use them on a press same as...

That's the same bullet that I use. Also like Lyman's W-C think it's 358495 just to target shoot with. Have some 4 cavity molds now I need some WW to melt.
Burris makes one. Fits in rear sight slot and clamps on the barrel. Had one on a MK1 and it didn't move. Any mount will leave marks on the receiver.

I use the same bullet in my Sig. Size them to .356 or .357. Both shoot good. If I shoot them fast I'll get a small amount of leading. That's with wheel weights.
White vinegar mixed 50% with H peroxide will remove lead from a barrel.
Think it would work on molds. I've used it in a leaded barrel. Just let it soak a few minutes.
