Diode, you are right in the 10 ring on getting your reloads to match your carry loads. Lunga Bunga hope you can find someone to help you get started like Diode. That is the way I got started on pistol loading.

Well, DW (aka Wayne) says you know your stuff. I will try to get up that way and visit with you sometime here in the near future!

I would enjoy that. Give a call & we will set some time to shoot, load, & visit. I am felling better every day now so am ready for some play as soon as I can get the work caught up from being down for a month.

Reloading your own ammo is a great way to tune your ammo. I've just started reloading my .45s using a Dillon 650, and I couldn't be happier. I like the fact that I can crank out 500 rounds or so in 45 minutes and that's enough ammo for me for the next 3 weeks.
I also have a Lee Turret Press to reload other calibers including .45s if needed to be. It also serves as my bullet pulling station because I have a Hornady CamLock bullet puller attached to one of the extra turrets. You do need to devote 100% of your concentration with a Lee Press because you have to visually check for powders on each load. I know this because I've experienced a couple squibs already. That's something less likely to happen with a progressive press. One nice thing about the 650 is the optional powder check sensor. If your casing has no powder or doublecharged, it will sound an alarm to let you know.
If you're in/around or close to Houston/Clear Lake area, I'll be happy to help you set your equipment up.
