Well, I did it. Ordered a Dillon SDB .45 today along with a Midway Tumbler, calipers, powder funnel and a scale. I have a SA 1911 Loaded model and a Glock 30 that the reloads will be shot out of. Now a few more questions.
1. I have decided on using copper plated round nose bullets. Looks like Berry's and West Coast have about the best prices ~$68 per 1000. Do any of you have good or bad experiences with these bullets? Anybody else making good plated bullets cheaper?
2. Do I use jacketed or lead reloading info from the manuals for these plated bullets?
3. I will be using W231 powder. How about a good load for plinking and one for pin shooting?
4. For those of you with an SDB, does it come with a crimping die? If not, do I really need one? If so, which one?
5. Any other misc equipment I need? Headspace gauge/case gauge, deburring tool etc?
Thanks all.
Regards,
Frank
