Anyone reload and what do you use... I do mostly 9mm and some .45

I have been reloading for a while with a Lee Pro 1000. Made quite a few 9mm with it. The last few times it has given me a fit, not enjoyable. :mad:

Finally gave up fighting last night, and stepped up to a Hornady LNL, got the case feeder with it. Midway USA, sent me a coupon for $45 off if you spent $300 and it was enough to motivate me.

I have to say the Pro 1000 is a great machine for the money, but does have it quirks. Here hoping the hornady has less quirks, and makes life more enjoyable. :lol:

Here is a comparison of reloading presses if you want some reading material..

I used to reload a ton with a friend. We used the Dillon Square Deal B. A solid reloader. I would recommend a dillon press any day.http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/home.html

I looked hard at Dillons...

I don't reload as of this moment, but it is something I've considered. It's too bad they don't have any readily available automatic reloading systems. I've found a few guys on youtube that have made their own rigs. Maybe it is because I just don't have the attention span, but I think I'd find reloading extremely tedious and not keep up with it.

Hi
The Hornady lnl is semi automatic if you get everything, just a pull of the handle, auto, shell, powder and bullet seating....

Dillon has a similar system...

I had a RCBS single stage with conversion, I will be going back to single stage since I'll mostly be reloading 357/38 brass with custom loads. Everything else I'll just shoot store bought.

I use a Dillon 550 for 308, 223, 300 wsm and soon to be 500 Smith and Wesson. For my 260 Remington I use a single stage RCBS partner press for sizing, and a Wilson seating die and A Sinclair arbor press for seating, and hand prime with a Sinclair hand primer. All my rifles except 223 get each powder charge weighed individually. I have a Bench Source annealer that makes annealing a breeze, and I clean my rifle brass with stainless tumbling media, which makes the brass look better than new, inside and out.

I need to start loading for more pistols, and the Dillon makes caliber changes very easy.

I have some 500 brass. Sold the gun dies and brass. Then found a bag of once fired brass. I'll trade around on it.

I have 100 pieces of brass, which should be enough. I'm loading them for my Dad, and he doesn't shoot that often. But what are you looking for in trade?

After I get it setup, I'd be glad to have you over and show you how it works :)
