CZ has to be good,look at how well the Dan Wesson 1911s have been received and revered.

Be aware of the RCBS turret press and the 0.005" turret wobble,sent back to Midway and got the Redding T7 turret. The T7 made reloading enjoyable again

I will also agree with everyone else about the crimp ( i have Redding Profile Crimp), I hope you have a case gage.

I thought you guys would get a KICK out of it !!!!     :rofl:  

I do have any experience with brakes but,in my research for a shooting/target rifle i ran across this video which is impressive.It is a muzzle brake   http://www.americanprecisionarms.com/products-page/muzzlebrakes/   video   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMLMof4P8Hk

Congrats! It seems that the hand will tell the brain which gun to chose.Mine did,i went to purchase a Sig Equinox P220 carry (3.9" barrel) and brought home a Sig 1911 C3

I am just getting started and got a ar 15 billet lower for $139 and ill buy parts as they go on sale.I am not in a big hurry.I most likely spend over $1000   The ar 15 has to lead to a Dillion xl 650 sooner or later.Below is some info on the Incendia billet lower if interested   http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/02/27/gun-review-incendia-billet-ar15-receiver/   https://incendiaarms.com/product/incendia-arms-billet-ar-15-lower-receiver/   Incendia will be making a upper soon.   Also i watch this website for deals   http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/

You know that it is Federal Law that if you can not understand a person you have the right to ask for an English speaking person.I do all the time when i need to.

Hi all, I have received and reported the following tel. numbers to the FTC   call from 213-337-0014 informing me that i could be arrested by the Federal Government for breaking the law.   What law? I could not understand him.He talked with an arabic  accent!( party store or gas station type) dead give away   The number he left to call back was 804-337-3043. That was about the only thing i could understand from the answering machine.   I wonder if obama will protect this guy or build more mosques

I just called Sig as i bought a 1911 C3 and asked them what brands to keep away from   Quote   We like American Eagle but any ammo brands will work,But stay away from any ammo  with steel cases

Will we ever see that price again? Even at 5000 rounds today .22 Lr are still eight cents a round!!!!   I am dating myself but i was in the era of forty cents a box and < $5.00 bricks

I believe no one mentioned that when you first start reloading,load up some dummy rounds(minus powder and primers) until you get it right and gain confidence.   Keep your best crimp as a sample.   Start with used brass or range brass

this is the example i used to critique my crimps. I made these crimps for every caliber reload. This is taken from the The High Road website, Lee Roder member

i start mine and press them in with this     http://www.amazon.com/Vise-Grip-12LC-12-Inch-Locking-Pliers/dp/B00004SBB1           with a piece of lexan on opposite side not to mar surface

Hornady 38 357 die set              http://www.hornady.com/store/38-357-357-Max-.357-3-Die-Set/   I like to use the reloading manual from the bullet manufacturer ie Hornady,Speer.Sierra and Barnes to name a few. Although you cannot get too many manuals   I use this reloading website as a  reference tool        http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=38%20Special&Weight=All&type=Handgun

Well said Leroy

+1 on the Redding i have on for every  pistol caliber  that i reload for   Unique HS 6  HP 38, HP 38 is equal to 231

Very nice engineering and well thought out system

Hi john455    Try Hornady single stage complete kit  $310 no dies  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/749997/hornady-lock-n-load-classic-single-stage-press-kit   Hornady Classic single stage press kit $449 no dies http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/23675   Everybody loves Lee products Here is there single stage complete kit $129  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/121744/lee-challenger-breech-lock-single-stage-press-kit?cm_vc=ProductFinding   I love my Redding Turret T 7 press. I can do a run of ammo without any adjustments(checking the correct powder grains every 10 pieces, it is a no hassle system   If at a later time and you need to make more ammo a progressive is the ticket,Dillon is the best bar none   Then check out the pawn shops and craigslist and keep an eye here in the for sale system   The links i gave for examples i used Midway and Graff and sons websites are only examples and i am not employee or salesman for either.   Midway has fantastic customer service although they will not offer any sugestions   I called  Graff and Sons and told my plans and they set me up with a complete system.   hope this helps   hickok45 video http://youtu.be/irC3NuIKDm4   P.S do you know anyone that works at Bass Pro employee discount

..............or you can take the seater plug out of your seating die to see where it lands on the bullet(tip or ogive), This will be a positive identifier and each bullet is different round nose or jacketed hollow point ie   http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread917836/pg1

+1 on the Hornady dies.If you get the Hornady dies check out the free bullets,if you can use the caliber it will knock $20 off the price(price of the free bullets)   Otherwise Redding are the ones i like
