I am recently retired, with considerable shooting experience. I carried for years as a security agent, and carry now as a civilian with a CCW. I only ever reloaded 12 ga. as a semi-competitive skeet shooter, back in the 1960's and 1970's. In the past I bought quality "carry" ammo, and found reasonable surplus or reloads to buy for practice ammo (.38 spec., 9 mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP).
Now, I have just purchased my first "cowboy" gun, a 5-1/2" Bisley design in .45 LC. As you know .45 LC is an expensive caliber. I am considering a small bench, simple press, single caliber set-up to reload .45 LC (only). Would anyone care to suggest a "minimal" selection of equipment for this purpose? Press manufacturer suggestions appreciated as well - reasonable quality/reasonable price. Speed is not essential and my output would be low volume. Cost is a factor now that I am retired.
Thanks in advance for your response.
