[QUOTE="becker_atc, post: 1910315, member: 12903"] I keep a M1 Garand, a 1911, two .38spl, and an AR15 fed with an RCBS Rock Chucker, other guns too but i dont target shoot much with them. Not a super high volume shooter but, when I get range time I make good use of it. Its what my dads boss gave me when I was 14 or 15 to load for .22 hornet and .45LC that at the time i couldnt buy ammo for just anywhere. Still using lot of the same equipment but did add a few things. Going to upgrade to a higher volume press soon. May try the lee turret first to see if will suit my needs/volume before dropping the hammer on a hornady LnL progressive or a dillion. Precision rifle and anything approaching MAX loading will stay on the R.C. As for manuals. I like the hornady manual LOTS! but i shoot several hornady bullets in several calibers. It is also very informative I think I think it explains alot of things very well. I also have a speer book that I use a good bit. Next two on the list will be a serria and a nosler book. Create a data book of the loads you load and keep notes. I write down EVERY load i load even if I just do it once to test something. Test it and record what happens so you know to continue on or no mess with it. I record everything, case type/brand, bullet, powder, charge, primer, type of die, crimp, OAL, projected velocity in the manual, starting and max load, page and edition of the manual. Think that is everything. I write it all on that green engineers paper, put in a plastic sheet in a binder with dividers separated by caliber and gun it is or is to be shot in. If was me starting out again, RCBS rock chuker kit with speer manual, add a hornady manual, case tumbler, salad bowl and noodle strainer to sift media (starting using it and still using it... hey it works :P ), case lube, and then get some glad-wear, or rubermaid containers to seperate cases and ammo if dont want to buy fancy cartridge boxes by MTM or something. Anyhow thats my 3 cents. [/QUOTE]
