I size new also. I don't hand prime so it has to go in the station, may as well size too.

I have and have had many of all three all easily met most of my needs. I rarely if ever shot anything but home cast bullets from all three.

OP you didn't say your intended use but:

For carry...

To feed my .480 I bought a couple of hundred .475's from a "hoarder" at regular Starline prices and I chopped them and several I know of on other forums have also using a harbor freight mini chop saw.

Sometime in the late 70's or early 80's? with the original Turret press, and once I tried a friend's Dillon I gave the Lee stuff to a friend and never looked back, and I have 5 Dillon presses now.

I've only done larger cartridges, from 30-30 (both Herretts) From .223 (.221 fireball) from various .308's (7BR) But since everyone seems to be turning the OD how does that solve the need for reaming...

Anyone tried PC'd bullets in a BEO?

I tried silicone ice cube trays, nope, wire mesh, but just the shallow aluminum trays that come with the ovens (with a silicone baking sheet underneath) works for me.

Powder reproduces when you're not using it. :-)

I posted a pic of my HF mini chop saw. It would be much less expensive to cut your own down and you still have the tool left when you're done.

Yup, here's mine. 324714

I ordered some, fingers crossed.

Funny range story.

A friend and I went to a range and since the owner had not seen my bud he went over a few rules...

"If you hit a light, it costs $30, a destroyed target holder is $50,...

I have a pair of aluminum scope alignment rods I got in the 80's or so. Crank them in, and if the points don't meet perfectly your scope will be buggered up.

I put fluorescent gel nail polish on all my handguns with sights too dark to see. Clean with alcohol, apply gel, cure under a black light and very little short of a fire will get it off.

My GF...

Sig does it right, so I expect the gun will work as well as any they have made over the years. It's just sad to see that most 1911 makers have slimmed their lines to 9mm and .45 acp.

Tatume, all too many of us don't realize that these guns will ALL go to their eventual new owner!

Anyway, Ruger and Dillon are the best companies shooters have to do business with!

Posts like yours need a :-) like button!!!

I like to use printed or otherwise vetted load data because terms can and do get jumbled. There's printed data on Universal in .45 Colt but none I can find in my library for Ruger / FA / TC.

Starline has been a supporter of owners of obsolete and hard to find brass since forever. I'd like to see them make brass made for guns that are still available as opposed to guns that are long out...

IIRC Hogue makes the rubber BFR grips and I found them far more pleasurable in my BFR .45 Colt with hot loads than my BFR .44 mag with mid range loads.

THAT REALLY surprised me.

In the line of "best value" believe it or not I bought a few UTG OP3 red dots and they're quite good. For under a hundred bucks with a lifetime warranty if you need a red dot I'd recommend them.

I am waiting arrival of a stainless steel 1976 Ruger Single Six convertible. It's been a sort of grail gun for me.

I have .41's from S&W as well as Ruger all are very good shooters.

When I was looking for a reproduction I found that the SAA action shooting folks use them extensively so that tipped the scales to the Italians for me.

So, I now have a couple of Uberti made...

Well, I acquired another 550 which came with a Dillon Strong mount, wow that mount has me spoiled. No more dipping of my shoulder on every ram upstroke it's made a world of difference in my comfort....
