    I will be the voice of dissent, then!

    I recommend going big from the beginning. I would get one of the Dillon progressives if you are more interested in having ammo than the process of reloading it. Some folks just like the activity of reloading, but I don't. I went from a single stage kit to a Dillon 650 and never looked back other than to wish I had done it sooner!

    Perhaps I'm underestimating what I got out of reloading with a single stage for 10 years, but from what I remember it was painfully slow and tedious. If you just actually like reloading, go for it.

    $300 is a good start towards a Dillon. I'd wait another paycheck or two and go Blue.

    AB can you list a complete Dillon 650 package that I can use immediately to reload .45 ACP, and .308? All components I mean.

    David, do not do that. Do not start reloading your own ammo. You WILL kill yourself (at a minimum).
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    note to self:
    chose the shooting position as far away from TS as possible, if he is shooting his handloads.
    a county or 2 seems a safe distance.

    The details make ALL the difference. Knowledge is power. Flying blind is asking for a collision with Mt. Everest.


    Really. YF I don't/didn't mean to offend you. But dammit this is just the kind of situation where the abstract needs to be reinforced with a reality check - if David is paying attention I think he may have gotten that.
