Whatchya think? I've heard alot of good about the RCBS RockChucker but she carries a nice price tag. My father uses Lee with good effect and we also have a Hornady autoloader thats nice as well.
So, whats everyone using for a press??

Seriously?!?! Why is that? That doesnt make sense......

I can see that, even alot of shooters just go for the bulk ammo and dont reload too much.

Thanks! :)

I have 2 Rockchuckers. One is set up for progressive stuff via the Piggyback attachment and the other is as issued for single stage duties. Even though they're $100, the quality is superb and I don't believe you'd ever wear one out. I started out using a Lee, and while serviceable, it's not in the same league.

DILLON!

Mike Dillon has done more to revolutionize the reloading industry than any other person. The dillon no quibble warranty is supposed to be the best in the biz.

Personally I dont reload my ammo, because I dont own any firearms untill I get home from this deployment. :D

At first I'm sure I'll just buy bulk ammo, but I would be intimidated to start reloading my own when I've never even seen it done. If someone from the tennessee area would want to give me a rundown on reloading or let me get some hands on, I'm sure I could learn and love it pretty quickly.

Hey!

I like guns, I like ammo, I'm pretty much a gun nut. Sorry for being helpful on my first post.

Dillon is good stuff, however a progressive press is not a good way for a rook reloader to start out.

RCBS or Redding are best in my opinion. Redding's dies are top notch. I use them exclusively.
