  .286 and .287. I had to buy the titanium nitride ones. I got those numbers off a forum for Lapua Brass. I haven't stuffed a bullet and measured yet.

  I think everybody needs to own a single stage press, no matter what. Nothing wrong with picking one up along with a turret. When it comes to turret vs progressive, you can crank out hundreds of rounds a week with an auto-indexing turret. If you need to get that up to a thousand, you should pop for a real progressive. 

  The auto index actually helps that situation.

  That Lee turret is auto indexing. It's real fast for a turret

  I'm done. Have the Redding dies and bushings. 300 rounds of brass that I have already primed. I even have a Sinclair bump gauge for setting shoulder bump. Got powder and bullets too. Just waiting on the barrel and receivers. 

  Dillon just about owns that market. But there are some Hornady progressives out there. 6.8 AR uses one. He loads a LOT more ammo than me too.

  We all know guys that shoot enough to justify a good progressive. I don't, so that turret fits my needs pretty well. I wouldn't try to load match quality stuff on it, but it makes great AR and pistol ammo.

  Yep

Yep. I'm just gonna have to wait. I have way too much invested in this gun to use a cheesy barrel.

  David M told me to stay away. HE said it was a pile. If you wanna buy Lee, try this.   http://www.midwayusa.com/product/785993/lee-4-hole-turret-press-with-auto-index-deluxe-kit   It moves fast enough that I don't want a progressive. I still load some stuff single stage, like .458 SOCOM, precision .223, and very soon 6.5 Grendel.   BTW... all powder measures are by volume except for the higher end measures like the Chargemaster. I use the Chargemaster for my precision stuff, and a volume based drop on everything else.

Steer clear of the Lee Progressive stuff. I'm a big Lee fan, and have two of their presses. But, if you wanna go with a progressive, stick with Hornady or Dillon.

  I know. I can still imagine, right? :)

  I'm stuck on imagining the chaos if big dude had whipped Deputy Donut's ass right there in the office. :)

  If I was the police, I would want a mini gun mounted on the appropriate vehicle. You never know when some rabid squirrel is gonna require the full force of the law. :)

Welcome. I'll echo Trekbike. TGO classifieds work. There are a few that actually hang out elsewhere, but maintain their benefactor status just so they can use the classifieds.

  Good barrel choice. I just got my 6x24 PST. Nice stuff. 

It's a helluva scope. I got the MOA version. I'm really gonna enjoy it.   EDIT: Got it. It's a pretty thing. 

  Ow. I just paid $950 for a PST 6-24x50 FFP. Should be showing up any minute. It's a new one, though. I saw one of those $750 deals.

  That one makes the Libtards pee their britches.

  It's Dave's sense of humor. I think he even chuckled some when he blew himself up :)

  Those types truly exist. There's just not enough concentration to start more than a fight in the checkout line at Walmart.

Maybe they figure if Obama is allowed to perform his "magic", he can dig himself out of the crapper. I'm thinking the more he gets away with, the lower he's gonna sink.
