[QUOTE="Cold Smoke, post: 3720970, member: 44374"] Since I’m finally getting into reloading in my dotage, there’s a whole lot to suss out. I’m building some opinions based on no more than diverse experiences and observations. Since the initial serious foray involves a single stage press, what are the opinions of the Hornady quick change die bushings? I love the concept but haven’t gotten the chance to coonfinger them to judge the execution. Next is priming. On press, manually or with a dedicated device? I’m leaning towards a hand primer to reduce the number of setups though the RCBS bench top whoosit looks spiffy. Other than being generally lazy, no good based reason. The biggie is charging. How many use just beam scales and tricklers vs drop chargers vs high tech goodies like the Chargemaster or similar? I have no opinions other than I want cost effective efficiency. I have a pretty solid background in precision millwrighting, machining and metrology so the dimensional consistency aspect doesn’t really fluff my fur too much. The expense of the spectrum of caliber specific tools and gages is kind of breathtaking. Kind of like getting nibbled to death by ducks. I’m sure there will be billions and billions (Carl Sagan voice) or more annoying questions to come, but that’s it for now. gracias ! [/QUOTE]
