So yeah, first post here on the forums, be gentle!
Anyway, I used to reload for all sorts of stuff when I was a kid (center fire handgun/rifle ammo, shotshells) using progressive presses and stuff, but eventually sold everything and got out of shooting for quite a while. All this was literally before the advent of the internet.
Now I'm back to shooting again and moved to a state where I can carry with a minimum of hassle (AZ) and I've been burning up a lot of .45 ACP with my nifty new Kimber Tactical Ultra II.
Anyway, I'm interested to find out what would be the best general setup for a progressive reloader for .45 ACP.
Quite frankly the cost of ammo is just shocking these days compared to what it was back in the late 80s (and I'm really not that old, started shooting when I was pretty young).
Primarily I'm interested in what the best combination of press, dies and accessories will be for loading .45 ACP both economically and effeciently time-wise, as I'm going to be doing some IPDA and IPSC stuff as well.
Having a second run at building a stable of firearms and reloading stuff with the advantage of the internet and 20+ years of technological improvements is just amazing.
I'm looking forward to reading everyone's opinions.
