Thanks to all for answering the reloading noob questions.

Smokeyjoe, a good write up like that deserves a follow-up

Unfortunately the local show was just here recently so it will be some time unless I take my chances on online auctions. I think I've done well so far though;
Refurbished LNL press & powder measure $220
Hornaday .45 3 die set at wholesale with press
Hornaday/Pacifica .38/.357 carbide 3 die set $20 NIB (still in factory grease!)
3 hp motor to automate press cost 2 fingers (just kidding)

I have not had any luck with the seat/crimp combo dies so I am on the lookout for separate crimp dies. I started this thread to help me make informed buying decisions on that so I can get the .45 factory rolling!
