I stopped by my gunshop tonight to have them check out my Tanf. Witness, see if they can figure out it's FTF issues, turns out I was causing the problem myself by riding the slide closed, not letting it snap closed
anyway, as I was passing the reloading section, I checked out their used counter, mostly shotgun presses, and a couple ancient single-stage presses
under the counter, however, I found the jackpot, a Lee Progressive 1000 three-die setup, with a full set of .45 ACP dies, an automatic primer feeder and automatic powder feeder, the press had a very light patina of surface rust on the chromed parts (less than 5% total) and should come right off with Flitz, the press itself works fine, indexes properly and is all set to start turning out '45s
the price? $65 for the complete press setup, it was a no-brainer, I bought it, once I get the press mounted up, I can start my first step into reloading, depriming my 300+ 45 ACP brass cases....
Now, to get a good reloading book and start researching loads
