[Why did you start reloading?]

My first gun was in a caliber that was not stocked anywhere - .30M1 Carbine

So, a mail order purchase of a Lee Loader later & some FMJ bullets, primers & a tin of Nobel powder from the gunshop....and a Thor hammer from the DIY store & I was on the way.

Lost the carbine in the ban, still got the loader

Now have several British & American made presses for rifle & pistol. ..and a collection of shotshell presses going back to the '60s, as added slug loading to the list of more clutter & boxes of supplies...

DO save money as some of what I load is unobtainable or far from affordable

[Please Help Me Decide - 550 or 650]

Went with a 550 myself...having used a friends 650

The deciding factor was quicker/easier caliber changes.

[870 extended magazine]

Why no more than 3/4" past the muzzle.?

I've seen a few that go a few inches past the end of the barrel

[remington 11 and savage 720 barrel]

Nice.

Got a couple of Auto5's but not got lucky enough to find a Remington 11 or a Savage 720 yet...

Quite fancy running one of my A5's with a mag. extension tube, etc.
