[QUOTE="Rolando, post: 1558138, member: 2367"] [url]http://forums.1911forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58[/url] check over there for some reloading info Worth it? Hell yes! Reloading is a hobby itself and it is very satisfying to produce boxes of loaded rounds. Satisfying to shoot your own and interesting to research different powders, equipment, loads, etc.. 45acp is a very forgiving load. Big brass easy to manipulate. Low pressure so the cases last a looooooong time. Classic for the 1911 too. I figured it costs me about $7 a box reloading low power target loads with lead. You can save a lot of money. Go for it. You won't regret it. And you will come across this so I'll break it down for you. "Blue is the best and anything less is crap" -say the Blue guys. Dillon is regarded as the best and not many will argue it isn't. "Hornady is not as good as the Blue stuff but still good." Works for me. I use the LNL progressive and have not had any problems. "Lee is crap." Not really. I think it gets the job done. It is the value brand "Start out on a single stage!". Nah, you can learn on a progressive. Probably will end up with a single stage anyway so good idea to start there. Take your time and you can do it even if you aren't mechanically inclined. [/QUOTE]
