I want to thank everyone for all of the advice, it is really appreciated. This is a great place to get help from! Thank you again, Mike

My Reloading Space / Cave I have done some updates to my reloading space so for fun I thought I would post a couple of pictures.

I know a fellow use to sell the following device to mark the cases with a Mark A Lot marker. I think it is pretty clever. Since it isn't available, I plan to make one for myself out of scrap 2" x 4". I haven't used it so I am not sure how much time it would take to mark rounds, but thought I...

Hello, My apology for what I am sure are stupid questions upfront, but I would greatly appreciate anyone's guidance. I have been reloading for just over a year now and currently reload 9 mm, 45 acp, 44 Remington Magnum, 7.62 Nato and 30-06. All these rounds I have been building with FMJ...

I think another factor to consider is that many of us consider reloading as a hobby. Thus like all hobbies, you can spend all the money you have, however I get alot of satisfaction and fun spending some of my free time reloading so it is hard to put a 'price' on the 'fun' factor. Take Care...

I agree very strongly with the previous post that the Giraud is very flexible, I can change from a different caliber in about 2 minutes flat, and the Giraud does an incredible job. However, my opinion is that the price of the tool is justified by the labor saved and quality of the output...

I second the Giraud, an outstanding trimmer for Rifle brass. I use it for 7.62, 30-06 and 50 BMG. Take Care, Mike

Ianmtx, A very nice and clean setup you have there. You should be proud. Take Care, Mike

LAH & Something Vague, Thank you both for the kind comments. Something Vague, Yes all the electrical in the basement as well as thru out the house is in EMT. I am not sure, but I think it is code where I live (a suburb of Chicago). I am a bit of a neat freak and so is my wife, so it...

My Reloading Space/Cave...sorry about the light but my photographic skills are low!

I use the Mr. Bullet Feeder (formerly known as the KISS Bullet Feeder) on my Dillon 650 and my Dillon Super 1050. I reload 9 mm, 45 acp, 308 and 30-06 with them and it is an incredible device. Many, many positive comments about it on Brian Eno's forum. The owner of Mr. Bullet Feeder, Rick is...

I do use the Uniquetek Micrometer on my Dillon Powder Measures (all 4 of them). As the previous post stated, the advantage is the consistency of being able to dial back the micrometer setting to the proper number of grains of a specific powder without much 'trial and error'. The spreadsheet...

I have two Dillion RF-100s (one in small primer and one in large primer). I found both of these machines to be exceptional with no flipped primers at all. It really is a 'load and forget' machine. I have a Dillon Super 1050 that in one sitting I will usually crank out between 1000 -1500...
