[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2538718, member: 15054"] I feel 4 dies are needed to make a completed round. although my hi-point gets by with 3 dies as i can skip the lee factory carbide crimp die. That Die sizes the case so it will fit in most if not all chambers it also applies a nice gentle crimp, or if you wish to set it up with care it will just remove the bell mouth you put on the case. I use Lee carbide dies and they have worked awesome for thousands of rounds. And my lee auto disc powder measure drops my powder with excellent consistency. Although you will need a scale either beam or electronic..I prefer a 505 beam scale. This will be needed to check weight of powder loads.. Yes the disc measures have a CC load by volume ..but batch to batch the CC volume changes and you really need to weigh then set the auto powder dropper. Or whatever you wish to call it. You can buy a harbour freight rock tumbler and stainless pins some Lemi-shine from the local wal-mart etc and some dawn or palmolive. Or you can make your own pins for about 3 bucks if you are crafty. Or you can clean the vibratory way with walnut media and a vibratory cleaner. As you have seen there are many ways to make a tumbler to clean with pins..again being crafty.. Much more satisfaction in it that way also:) This is all about making your own and hands on approach.
