    Re: I Need alot of help Dillion owners I agree, give Dillon a ring, mail it in, and head to there website to print off a free owners man. This way when it shows up back to your place you'll have an idea of whats going on with it and a working press to operate.

    Fans of the Hornady new dimension dies?

    Taking the plunge!

    Re: Taking the plunge! I have a Lyman 49th edition and it has a lot of good information in it, but a lot of gun shops have many books to choose from. You can thumb through them and see what kind of info is in them and which one you like best. Hope this helps.

    RP or WIN brass?

    Re: RP or WIN brass? Been using Win brass lately and it does pretty well. Although when i opened up the bag and started going through it there were a couple that were tore up to bad for me to load. And before i worked the casings over the mouths on them were pretty rough.

    Reloading equipment?

    Re: Reloading equipment? If your loading kit did not come with a handbook/manual those tell you quite a bit. My loading kit came with the Lyman 49th edition and you can also get free load date from Hodgedons website that is pretty decent. If you plan do load large rifle bullets, you may...
