HI all!
Just want some feedback on my (pending) setup. Started reloading when I was 21, 1977. Loaded .357/.38, 30-30 and 12ga. Reloaded for the next 10 years, but not in bulk. Was a casual plinker, never more than a hundred or so at a time. Got out of shooting in 1987, and like a dummy, sold my stuff. In 2000, I bought a Glock 22 and got a Glock 20 and a Taurus .357 in a trade with a friend for some work I did for him.
I plan on reloading for the Glocks mainly. The .357 is the wife's, and she doesn't shoot enough to justify another set of dies at the moment.
So what I'm aiming for, is economy. I won't be loading enough to justify a progressing press, and don't want to mess with changing and resetting dies when switching calibers, so I'm looking at a Lee turret press with either a 3 or 4 die set, and that's my sticking point. Do I want to go 3 die or 4 die? To start, I'll only be loading 10mm. Im tired of it being a paperweight, lol.
I know the pros and cons of each, just waffling on which way I want to go. When I was reloading before, I had been using Lee products, and was/am more than satisfied with them, so that's not an issue.
Any thoughts on the dies?
As this is still in the planning stages, I would like your thoughts on bullet weights as well. I've been buying 180 grain factory loads, and will probably stick with the 180 grain for reloading, but would like some input on 165 and 200 grain...
Thanks!
