[QUOTE="Bobcatman, post: 2772010, member: 14655"] I have the Lee Reloading Manual. I actually prefer the Hornady. The Lee spends more time bragging on their product, instead of filling the pages with real info. A fellow reloader taught me to check the rounds in my pistol barrel to make sure I have the crimp right. Good info. As for tools, I bought a $20 digital caliper at Harbor Freight (Frankfort Arsenal). I just started using a digital scale. Much better than the balance beam one I got with the Lee Kit. I use walnut media for range brass, but for fresh brass, I use corn cob. Also, Hornady has a spray lube called "One Shot", that is incredible. Place 20 rounds in a ziplock bag and spray them down, shake real good, and set out to air out a little before running them through their course. After loading, I clean the rounds with a good cloth before taking them out to shoot. Probably not necessary, but I don't want any chance for build up in the chamber, and I like a good clean round to run. [/QUOTE]
