Just made my first reloading purchase

iScream · February 10, 2009, 11:36 AM

Just ordered a Lyman 1200DPS and 8 pounds of 231 powder to get started. Now I've just got to choose a press.

Just had to tell someone...

I like RCBS and use a Rock Chucker to make my weekly range trip pistol rounds.
If you are going to shoot and reload more that a couple of hundred round at a time you may want to look at a progressive or a turret type press.

I have had a Hornady L N L ap ordered for 6 weeks from Midway. I hope you can find what you want. If you have to order don't be surprised with a long wait.

I bought the 1200 DPS 3 last year. What a great machine! Congratulations! Keep up the enthusiasm.

I just bought a Lee Pro-1000 .40 S&W press kit from Midway for $138 with dies.
