I am ready to smash my Lee Pro 1000

I hand Prime all my Brass with an old Lee hand primer and also use a RCBS Chargemaster which saves a lot of time and is very accurate.

that is exactly what I use. I like the way you can feel primer pockets getting looser then those cases get marked for the trash

And has long as those old Lees are available on E-bay I'll continue to use them

I use the Lee hand priming tool and it is a very good product I think. The RCBS chargemaster is great, just type in your load and it's putting out Powder, the only thing it could be just a little bit faster.

True but I'll take it over the old scale method any day
 
Years ago I used to do a little competitive rifle shooting. Because of a shoulder injury I used a 243 Winchester. That rifle when fed my 70 Gr. SMK individually weighed hand loads just shot little knots. Just for giggles I ran a batch of 100 through my Dillon, I was surprised to see that there was absolutely no increase if group size. From that point on, I used the Dillon to reload all of my ammunition. Why, simply because it was faster. Do you NEED a progressive press? Absolutely not, but they sure are handy. Especially when loading for your kids and grandkids as well. I started off with a 450, then upgraded it to a 550. When I could afford it, I bought a 1050 to reload 45 ACP pistol ammunition that I use in copious amounts on a weekly basis. A friend of mine moved to the Philippines and gave me a Square Deal B and a 650. I have contacted Dillon twice for replacement parts to components that I DAMAGED. I was willing to pay for them. Dillon said NO. They were replaced under Dillon's Life Time No B.S. Warranty. IMHO Dillon's products and Service are unbeatable.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
