Just out of curiosity: Who in this forum is hand loading ammo? If yes, what equipment do you use and what calibers do you load?  |

I have been reloading for a few years now. I started with .222 on an old Tru-Line Jr., and .270 on an old Texan. I inherited allot of reloading stuff from my uncle, including the above presses. This spring I purchased a T-Mag II kit and have done some .270 work on it. I am in the process of getting setup to do .44Mag for my dads Ruger SBH, .357Mag for my Ruger BH, and .40S&W for my Glock G35.

I started reloading five years ago when I bought a 454 Casull & found how expensive they were! Since then I've reloaded for many calibers but mostly 357 MAG,45
COLT,9MM,300RUM,30-06,45ACP,223REM. I reload with a RCBS Rockchucker,PACT digital scales,LYMAN case trimmer &tumbler,and a HERTERS powder throw. As you can see I have a little of everything, now which company to buy a progressive press from?
Any ideas?

I have used Dillon equipment for many years, started with a Square Deal B. I loaded so many rounds on that thing that I finially had to send it back for an overhaul. The only charge was shipping one way. I traded it in for a 550 and have loaded over one hundred thousand rounds on it, again, whenever I need a replacement part they send it to me at no charge. They mean it about their no BS warranty, absolutely fanatic about customer service, even on used equipment. I shoot both IPSC and IDPA and shoot about 15,000 - 18,000 rounds per year. I load 9mm and .45 caliber and can easily turn out 500 rounds per hour. I use TightGroup and jacketed bullets in both calibers, stopped using lead years ago because of the mess the lube ring makes inside the guns.
Good Luck
