Thanks guys. That's exactly what I was looking for, like I said with 2 kids and my wife I don't have much time for anything these days but would like to try it out, right now I'm shooting maybe 400rds of .45 a month so I don't think I'll have much trouble keeping up with my current demand, I've got about 1000rds of once fired brass to start out.
Whats the most economical way to prep cases?
The Lee kit referenced on the ebay link a few responses up appears to be an excellent value. So much that I'm wondering if anything's wrong with it? A Lee press will run you about $100, the powder measure (excellent for stick powders) is $20 - you're already up to the price of the kit. You're essentially getting the other stuff for free.
I use a Lee single stage press to reload thousands of bottleneck rifle rounds a year. And don't see any reason to change. Don't load much, if any, pistol these days but have run pistol on it as well (although, 30 carbine is kind of like loading pistol). A lot of guys crap on Lee stuff, but my response is - the rounds I make with my Lee reloading gear still find their way to the 10 and x ring when I do my part.
