I am a big fan of measuring tools!@Mark_Mark , are you loading ammunition or collecting tools?
I do a little of both it seems. Along with over analyzing every little bit of data I can get.
and fast! I can bang out a 9mm in under a minute! Great for Lifetime Channel Drama series Weekend!Lee loaders don't loose their value too.
I have kits with black, red and yellow dippers, in a variety of calibers and gauges. They're stupid easy to use and fast once you get the hang of it. If I go to the range to try out a new load and decide after 12-18 rounds I found it, I'll break out the loader for that caliber and just do what I shot in the new load. Decap, clean with a Shooter's Choice, Hoppe's and a swab, resize, charge, seat, crimp (or not). Done. If I don't have a loader kit, then I use the hand press. Same process.Lee loaders don't loose their value too.
Lee is made here in America, China has their own issues right now, soon, made in China is going to stay in ChinaWell, do you want stuff made in places that have ever increasing costs due to the .gov or things made in China?

How I got my 1968 start in this hobby. My maternal grandfather gifted me a BringBack K98k that Uncle Someone brought back for him from the ETO.
