Rex Roach on Youtube described the differences pretty well in his video:

Do you have a need for a carry gun? If so, the G19 is hard to beat. If a competition level gun is what you need it's hard to beat the G17L MOS or G34 MOS varieties. I'm a GSSF member, so I've so far purchased a G34, G19, and G30SF. Next one will probably be a G21 and I'll add a MOS to it. I'm in CA so I have to stick to the lesser G3's vs G4 or G5 versions.

For pistol, it's hard to beat Dillon carbide dies. There are others, but start simple and Dillon's will do 99% what you want. As you get more experience with reloading, then branch out to whatever your heart and wallet desires.

We all are. But so, far it's not working. We poor.

I'll venture a guess: Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler. That would be a very wet FART.

Great answer. Thanks.

Wouldn't the AR10 be a better platform for the 6.5 vs the AR15?

Stress: Portrait of a Killer on Youtube was pretty interesting too.

Wu Assasins is fun - Netflix (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8652642/) Warrior (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5743796/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2) is also interesting, but it's not available for streaming as far as I know.

Another thing is that the 9mm, 10mm are small primer. 45ACP can be small or large primer, but it's more popular as a large primer case. As @Sarge said earlier, there are lots of posts about getting into reloading and all the necessary things to buy. Most components are hard to find now and reloading might not be a bargain by the time you've bought everything needed.

If you buy a new press from Dillon, it will be shipped with one caliber setup. Decide which one you want and start there.

I like SNS Casting for 147gr RN: (Linky)

All you need to bell is about 0.010" over if I remember correctly.

You can put lock nuts on the underside of the tool head. Your belling looks good to me. What does it measure?

If I'm just doing a decap/resize run, there's lots of stations where I can run a full length resize on a 1050. It doesn't need to be only at station #2 unless I'm missing something, like 2nd grade reading comprehension. So I should be able to run: 1. Case feed 2. FW Arms decapping die 3. No swage needed 4. No primer needed 5. No powder needed 6, 7, 8 > resize and trim?

Linky: Link Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the ~$55 FW Arms™ Auto-Case Centering Decapper/Deprimer? How does this compare to a universal die? I'm a little worried about killing my decapping pins if doing a lot of military .223 or 308 case prep and encountering berdan primers.

Great series so far. Lots of interesting twists and some fun characters.

Crosslink:

This. Cabela's used to be the go-to place when I wanted to get some quality outdoor gear. They used to sell some of the best stuff there. Now it's all the Bass Pro store brand crap. They have went the same way as Cycle Gear bringing in cheaply made gear and apparel.

In addition, some ranges want you to use a softer lead bullet. Also when handling the bullet, there's less lead poisoning potential for the most part.

How about for .223 loads?

I kept mine stock. I did add a TRS-25 red dot. It's a fun, cheap, lightweight shooter.

147gr SNS RN with 3.4gr of Titegroup. Range is 3.2 to 3.6 gr. Bunny farts.

CCI's seem to be more concentric than the Winchesters which work better in the primer feed tubes.

The best time to start reloading was 10 years ago.
