I'll try this again at lunch for the third time. This time I’ll do it in Word and cut, copy and paste. (It keeps booting me off.)
Progressive presses are a great time saver but there is nothing like a good ole single stage press. I started out with a Lyman T Mag press kit. It had everything I needed to get started. I still use it for all my rifle loads and other calibers that the Dillon Sq. Deal won't do (like rifle) and pistol loads that I don't load allot of. On the Dillon I load higher volume 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 44 Mag, and 357/38 SPL. But still have all the other dies for working up loads in the Colt and 44 Mag Hunting loads.
I think the kit is the way to get started and you will always find yourself going back to it for quick adjustments to loads or crimps etc. You will also find a hand primer is a good tool to have around to make things quicker. I have three of them.
And oh yes, who could ever forget Burt Reynolds as Quint Asper.
Have fun, Ya Big Tree
