Discuss handloading, reloading and presses here.

Work has web filter set up so I can't see. But it sounds about right.

I'd suggest a dial caliper over a digital. I have both and prefer the dial.(batteries never die and it's just as accurate). And mine aren't cheap either (Starrett). Mostly it's used for COL and case length.

Good books are ABC's of Reloading, Modern Reloading (might come with kit). For load manual I like Hodgdon (available at news stands), Lyman's. All bullet manufacturers make ones for their bullets.

:pointlaugh: Good luck with the tumbler... unless you want the 18lb jobby! I've been to 3 of them in 2 states and bupkiss! One employee said to get a raincheck and they'd reserve one for me when they get more stock.

I have a Dillon SQDB and lvoe it. I just recently had it refurbished since i haven't used it in over a decade. They charged $39.95 for the refurb and put about $160 worth of new parts on it. I was blown away that they didn't charge for the parts. Can't say enough good things about them.

Hobby U Say.....Hobby.... Hell!!! :twisted: I've have became obsessed with it. :twisted: I'm like a mad scientist with the different formulas of bullets(weights and types) powders(amounts and types) brass(once fired vs multiple times used vs virgin brass) and primers lets not forget all the different primers.

And being 100% safe at all times!
I have a 9mm load that's given me 2" groups at 15yrds out of a well seasoned Glock 17. :pbjtime:

All fun aside, whatever you chose? don't forget the bullet puller because when in dought throw it out or just pull the bullet
