Since I have acquired the rather costly habit of shooting about 500 rounds a week, I made the rather obvious decision to start reloading my ammo. I shoot a mix of .45 ACP, 9mm, 38 special, 357 magnum and .40 S&W. Next I considered what brand and kind of equipment to use. I found out rather quickly you could spend as little or as much as you wanted to on equipment. I settled on Lee because of basic decent quality at a decent price. I didn't want too basic a unit like the Classic Loader or a complicated one like the Lee Progressive. I was happy tp see that there was a great middle ground...the Lee 4 hole Turret Press with auto index! You can still put out a decent quantity while paying close attention to safety. I will probably being asking a lot of questions of you folks because I really don't want to blow myself up....LOL!
