[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3492158, member: 15054"] I started with Rifle a 30-30. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/LEE-PRECISION-90244-Winchester-Classic/dp/B00162RRNY[/URL] Taught me the very basics and made sub MOA ammo from cases I shot from my 30-30. If you can find lead like old wheel weights or lead pipe or lead flashing or shower pans you can cast your own lead bullets. That leaves a big chunk of money in your wallet. I find loading for the 1911 semi auto pistol is the most frustrating. I hate the feed ramp that pummels the nose of the bullet into the top of the chamber. Changes my OAL in cast bullet loads. I suppose very hard cast and good crimp may eliminate that. I got used to other feed ramps that were a ramp and not a cliff and my bullet would enter almost straight into the chamber. Some say pistol is easier. Some handguns may be but not any 1911's that I have loaded for. [/QUOTE]
