...and so I need some advice from you fine folks.
I'll be reloading on a Lee Classic Turret. Any reason not to use Lee dies? Is the FCD worth getting? Or should I maybe consider a carbide .40S&W resizing die? I read somewhere that using one can be helpful and maybe avoid needing case lube. Any truth to that?
I believe there's a device for checking cartridge seating, like the plunk test in the barrel chamber, but a separate piece of machined steel. I have no idea what it's called. Can anyone help with that?
Is Acc#9 a good powder choice, or are their better options? I'm not looking for reduced loads, just full power, and really just one load right now.
I want to use 125gr bullets. Plated, or jacketed? I'd prefer to keep it simple and just use one brand and style. They will be for range practice, and maybe (I say maybe because I have other, better options) for a passable woods load.
