I agree with the less fun with progressives. I started off with a Hornady prog press, but over the last 10 years I've been reloading predominately off of my Lyman Turret and Lee Classic Turrets. I've been reloading over 25 years now and have never had any ammo issues which I attribute to being...

www.factorysales.com. They are down the road from Lee and basically have everything in stock. Price for the dies are 31.50 for the carbide set.

I use 175 gr with 3.5 grs titegroup. Great practice load with little recoil. Start 10% from maximum then go up and down a couple grains each way until you get something you like. As long as your gun functions with lighter loads and the bullet leaves the barrel you are good to go. On the flip...

I have both the Lyman and the Lee Turret presses. Both get the job done, but the Lee is the one I use most often when loading since it has to auto index which saves on wear and tear on your elbows. Both have pros/cons. Lyman pros are very smooth action and the #55 powder dispenser is extremely...

Hi, I've been using Titegroup 4.2 grains with laser cast 180 grain bullets and it shoots POA and groups small ragged holes. This is the lowest load I can go with the hi-power since it's so tight of a gun, but with my M&P i've been able to go down to 3.5 and still have the gun function 100%. Hope...

I'm NRA certified in pistol, range officer, personal protection and reloading. Check the NRA website for instructor courses in your area. If you have a desire to teach then this is the way to go. The reloading course certification which was an in-home course only ran me about $30 which included...
