I'm about to plunk down for a Hornaday LNL progressive press, primarly for reloading .38 Special rounds with 148g wadcutters, and have a few questions:
(1) Which type of dies are the ideal set-up for the five stations?
#1: resizer die
#2: expander die
#3: powder checker "comp?" die...
I have a Hornady progressive press on my short list, and the first set of dies are going to be .38 special. From what I can tell, the Hornady dies are plain steel (from their website). I was hoping to stick (pardon the pun) with Hornady dies, as I understand the press may have trouble with other...

I know it mounts just fine to the edge of the benchtop, and I'd like to sit down while using it as well as other reloading tasks.

It's stamped "COLTS PATENT" on the frame near the left front of the...
I have some time tomorrow as I drive from Springfield to Kansas City MO tomorrow. Any well-stocked gun / pawn shops to recommend? I'm looking for mostly older revolvers. Thanks in advance!

Diamondback in .22LR

I've got a sweet .357 already, and I doubt I'd shoot the big old 29 much, so that purty Colt is calling to me. I don't own a .22LR DA revolver, and that would sure be the one to get.
While I've been a shooter for 30 years, I never really understood some of the basics of bullets/cartridges and the energy part of shooting...
(1) I recently fired a .45 Long Colt revolver for the first time. I was amazed at how little recoil there was, given the size of the cartridge. It had...
