Shiloh Sharps 45-120

[Guest waldo]

I am going to get into reloading. Looking at 45ACP, .380 , 300 mag and 45-120 shiloh sharps. I was thinking of getting a dillion press. I am have no experience in reloading but I know that dillion is believed to be the best. My question is, what dillion press can handle the 45-120? If none can, what press would you advise?

I would use a single stage press with a cartridge of that size and type of shooting you will do with it

 

The Dillon's are the best progressives for various reasons...however that rifle cartridge isn't one you will crank out hundreds of rounds per session.

Much of the fun will be finding the best recipe for that gun.  This involves many different powders, charges, and bullets.

In short....any ole single stage press and a decent set of dies will be ideal for that cartridge.

 

I have several dillon presses for most handgun cartridges, but aside from .223 I see no need for one to be used on rifle cartridges considering the lower volume of shooting and differences in loading bottlenecks.  I load straight wall rifle rounds too (45/70 and .444) and still only shoot them enough to use the single stage.

The dillon rules the roost on 45 acp.  You have to shoot a LOT for the price over the single stage setup will be worth it.
