Yesterday I decided to take the plunge and buy my reloading equipment. I keep talking about doing it, but that wasn't getting me anywhere. Here's what I ordered:
1000 Remington 45 ACP Bulk Pistol Bullets, 230 gr FMJ RN
500 Remington 45 ACP Pistol Brass
1 Lee Pro-1000 Shell Plate Carrier, No. 11 44 Special, 44 Magnum, 45 Colt
1 Lee Pro 1000,45 ACP
1 Lee Safety Powder Scale
1 Hornady M-3 Case tumblers, 110 volt
1 Lee Modern Reloading (book)
1 Lee Carbide 3-Die Pistol Die Set, 44 Mag
1 Hornady One Shot Tumbler Media
I figure I can buy powder (1 lb Alliant Bulleye) and primers locally and save on the outrageous shipping costs.
I know I can buy brass and bullets cheaper at local gun shows but I wanted to start off with new components to eliminate (or at least minimize) one of the variables until I get some experience under my belt.
Is there anything I've missed and need to get?
BTW, what's the easiest way to check the charge weight on a progressive?
