    Yes shit , I did load up on brass and bullets. Got a decent scale and got other types of inspection equipment. I've been a machinist for close to 40 years and precision means everything to me. The Lee products were less than half of what I bought. I did get dies for the 7 types of guns that me and my big Hispanic family use.

    Sorry had major shoulder surgery a few months back. doc says no shooting till around June. I have been loading , testing weights and understanding this hobby. Truthfully typing and moving this mouse burns the arm like heck.

    FWIW: DO NOT mic, or weigh bullets. The precision aspect will have you banging your head against the wall. been there, Done that.

    ^^^This. I'll mic and weight a few random bullets to verify what I ordered. Other than that, you'll know you have a sizing problem when you start loading.

    LOL I'm seeing that ! A lot of variable's .Don't plan to kill myself too much. But what the heck , can't shoot for a couple of months. Lets see if I can average out my thinking and grow. Better than loading blanks. Gives me something to do. At least I got powder today!! Well ordered anyway. Again thanks for the advice Kazoo. Its the reply's from old timer loaders who just want to write crappy stuff to show how old they are . Man I'm 60 ,and just looking to hear from people who want to keep the hobby going and willing to pass it on. thanks again
