Ok, what am I missing?
I'm getting the following from Midway, and I don't want to miss anything that will keep me from reloading right away. I hate missing parts!
Lee 4 hole autoindex turret press
Lee pro auto disk powder measure
Frankford arsenal 750 gr Digital Scale
Lee modern reloading manual
some cheap caliper
set of 4 .45acp dies from lee (carbide)
Lee safety prime lever primer thingys - one large & one small
Here's my biggest conerns...
1) What about all this other stuff that comes in the lee kits? Like this cutter and lock stud...and primer pocket cleaner? I've never even deprimed a case before, do I need them for my .45acp rounds?
2) is the pro auto disk $10 better than the basic auto disk? I've read some online reviews that rave about the pro version, that's why I'm *leaning* that direction....but nobody knows better than the experienced fellas at THR ;-)
3) Do I need a riser to connect the powder measure to my press? After reading what midway says about the riser, it's confusing as to whether it's required for my ALL LEE equipment to work together.
4) there's also a double-disk auto disk powder measure add on that "allows two disks to be used, increasing the accuracy of your charges" or something like that according to the midway website. I want to charge about 4 gr of Clays into my .45acp loads. Do I need this double-disk thing to get near 4 gr?
Thanks for your patience guys. I don't have any experience in this subject, and reading about it online doesn't answer these kind of experience-only-knows questions.
