My dad and grandfather were the same.
Put the effort/money in now and you wont regret it later.

Ive spent so much money on low end guns over the years. Not one of them are still around.
Lots of...

Honestly....dont spend a dime less than $450 on a new handgun.
No offense to any who have, but Ive had my share of $150-300 handguns and just enough of them were less than desirable.

You'll have...

Ugh...that brings back memories.
I had the same style TCC but different wood.
Great gun overall.

"I love recoil"

I used to.
Then I bought a Thompson Center Contender new in the 80s in 30/30 with a 10 inch barrel.
I like recoil a lot less now :D

I actually watched a grown man tear up...

I havent deer hunted in years, but for me the 357magnum is just this side of underpowered for big game.
Id rather overkill than be skirtin the edge of inadequacy.
Just an opinion.

DEfinitely agree.
Dump a lot of brass on the reloading market and it almost certainly would survive regardless.
Hell, I might buy something if I know I can get the brass and cast my own lead.

My first rule when buying a gun is to get one where the ammunition type is common, been around for a long, long time and easy to find in any store.

22lr, 357 magnum and 12 gauge are what I...

Agreed.

When I first started reloading last year I let someone on another forum talk me into undercharging my loads the first time. I have used Unique from day one but those early rounds left my gun covered...

Wait.
So is Alliant Unique the same thing as Hercules Unique?

I worked in offset printing for many years and had to mix most of my own ink with pretty expensive triple beam scales.
I dont trust any scale after seeing what Ive seen over the years.
Even the...

Another vote for the Lee Classic turret press.
Apparently its still on sale for $84.48

Boy am I glad to hear others bought this stand and liked it :D
It seems sturdy enough except for the partical board top. I'll be replacing it with plywood at some later point myself.
With the...

Wow. I really miss my 5 BR ranch and garage :D
This apt living is a real drag.

I live in an apt so Im limited on space and have looked for months for just what I wanted at a price (yes, Im cheap) I felt I wanted to pay.
Got this stand at Harbor Freight for $20 on sale. It...

I started without one. Then I got a Lee Production Pot IV and never looked back :)

Ruger 10/22 gets my vote.
I just bought my first one and Im very impressed with the design.
:)

Ive got a Lee 4 die carbide set. Love it. No problems after a year and a half or so.
:)

I bought an extra indexer and 10 of the squares just in case
So with all the extras Ive been intentionally stopping short and trying to see if it breaks but so far no matter what Ive done hasnt...

Or an endangered condor ;-)

xlox.
Thanks. I'll check it out :)

Nevertheless, I'll stick to using a press :D

Wow.
You guys are really talented.

Ive never tried the classic loader, but watching a guy use it on youtube scared me off big time :D
The idea of banging on a live round with a hammer/mallet just doesnt appeal to my self preservation...

I had determined to stick with only reloading 38/357 because of the single stage swapping of dies and the RamPrime as well.
After seeing that I can buy another turret for this press for less than...
