Too be a student of reloding

RE: Too be a student of reloding
As a student of reloading there is a vast amount of information to learn if you want to. The biggest thing to learn is if you are not sure about anything, step back and look again, if your still not sure, lean to the side of caution and work up from there.
You don't say what model of Dillon you have. I have one I have had for over 30 years and it still works just like it did the day I unpacked it. If its getting sloppy contact Dillon as they have one of the very best warranty's in the industry.
If you are considering taking the step into reloading Black Powder ammunition I would suggest you take a look at the Co-Ax press. Its a good sturdy press and offers some advantages over other presses, but its not perfict as it has a few drawbacks as well. The big plus I have found with the press is that the dies can float a little to allow everything to align and be a bit more concentric. The down side is the priming system on that press is a bit of a pain and is slow. However you can use a different method to prime your cases that is faster.
On my loading bench I have a lyman press, a Co-Ax and an old Dillon 450. The Lyman is about brand new as I really don't use it. For volume stuff I will use the Dillon and everything else goes to the Co-Ax.
If you get into casting your bullets and such, reloading can be a very rewarding practice. If you have to buy all of your components, I am not sure any more if reloading is a cost savings, but its not a practice I am going to give up any time soon.
Best of luck to all your adventures. And welcome to the site.
