[QUOTE="Jack Wagon, post: 1718276, member: 110366"] After a decade or two of planning to someday start reloading, I just started to begin about a year ago. The press I had in the closet for awhile was a Lee deluxe 4 hole turret, in a starter kit, a Christmas present from the wife. I LOVE IT. It will do everything I need it to, and do it well. 2 min set up between 30-06 single stage and 9mm semi progressive mode. Lessons I think I have learned so far: Every brand of die I have tried, antique to modern uses the same thread pattern. They all do what they are supposed to. If you don't have a custom precision chamber with a tight neck, don't waste resources on bench rest grade dies. Lee products always work, if you first read their instructions. There is a lot of Information on the subject, much of it contradictory, test for yourself what works for you. this is a dangerous game, SAFETY ALWAYS small base/ar series dies have not been necessary in any of my semi-autos. Lee Pacesetter sets give me excellent results in my ARs Get measuring tools to determine headspace from fired brass, and only resize enough to function in your application, over resizing gives me no gain, but loses case life. I hope you have as much fun with this hobby as I do. I've learned a lot from lurking on the fringes of this forum. [/QUOTE]
