Hey Ben are you finally going to start reloading now? There is more information about BBI here:

PS: I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than their predecessor's.
The insert is so loose the it slides so easily that I am afraid it will fall out or slide to the point of jamming up against the frame. I need some advice on how to best fix this issue. Thanks in advance for you help.
I may be planning on going to this one too. Here is a link to their site about the match...

You can get all the loading info you need online from the manufactures of you components- so I would cut those costs. I would consider getting the new CM-750 vs. the 500. Better motor and will last you longer. Use Hornady One Shot lube instead of Dillon's. I have found better results and I think it is cheaper. And you can buy it locally at the gun store. I don't think there is a real need for a bullet tray. I never really used mine and just grab from the bullet container or an ice cream bucket. Works just as well if not better and saves cash. I think a regular beam scale works fine instead of the pricey electronic ones and would wait on getting that fancy tool set. All the tools you need come with the press. This should save you a couple hundred bucks. Better spent on components.
1. I would also suggest an STI Trojan. Best gun for the money in my opinion.
2. I have been using a Pact Club Timer III for sometime now and it has been problem free. You might also check out the CED 7000.
3. CR-Speed all the way for belt and mag pouches- holster, I would recommend a CompTac for the 1911.
4. Saul Kirsch has a bunch of great material on improving in this game. Several books and videos which top the list of must have in this category.
Just curious, because I had the best results I have ever seen in 4 different loads today. They were with the same components but different powder charges I was testing out today. They went 8-7-7-6 in succession. I was wondering if these standard deviation numbers are above average or par for the course results?
