As usual, if I win, what I win goes to someone without a reloading machine, namely Tom Jones.

Thank you. Entered.
And the site is a wealth of cartridge/caliber history and data. Cheers!

[psalms144.1]

Thanks - I haven't had a reloader since I left for my OCONUS posting in 2006. I could definitely use one now...

[LittleLebowski]

Bump.

No press? The hell Tom do you even operate bro.

If you win I'm changing my name to Tom Jones.

I suspect him of being a #PoorFag (https://pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=PoorFag)

A 650 would be way faster than my T7...

I'm a poorfag and I have one. That's a new tier of poorfag.

How do you like your T7?

[Duelist]

How do you like your T7?

Very much. It works smoothly, has plenty of leverage, and I got it way cheap at an estate sale. I’ve never loaded on a progressive, and this was the first turret I ever used. 7 stations gives a lot of flexibility: you can use it like a single stage that you don’t have to change dies on, or a manual progressive-ish for two 3-die pistol calibers with an empty station between, or 3 rifle, or what I do, which is two pistol calibers facing opposite directions, and the 7th station is the FCD station - I just pull the FCD when I’m done, and put it away with the shell holder so I don’t screw up the next time I’m loading and try to crimp a .38 with a 9mm FCD. (That doesn’t work, BTW)

When I’m loading rifle, I just use that single empty station like a single stage. I only load hunting/long range ammo for rifle, so single stage doesn’t bother me because of the low volume I produce. If I were loading 5.56 bulk, it would be too slow.

I actually haven’t loaded much in the past 1.5 years due to grad school. I haven’t loaded *any* 9mm - just been buying it in case quantities b/c time. I loaded some .38s last week, and it was nice to get back to it. Hope to load some more before my second summer class starts. And get my fall hunting rifle ammo loaded so I don’t have to think about it during the semester.

I would probably load more quantity if I had a progressive.

Entered, and if I win I'll send Tom a 550. A 650 is much too complicated to start with, but a 550 is a perfect beginner's press. ;)

RE swords, Ive discovered that doing sword or saber practice in the house can be hazardous, hence the true need for a Cold Steel Cutlass for a more manageable size to practice drills with.

Trying to just make links rather than vids.

BTW, I quite understand the interest in single action revolvers, both cartridge and black powder. Have you messed with the open top Colt cartridge conversion type guns any?

[Malamute]

If you can lay hands on copies of the books Firearms of the American West, Vol 1 and 2, by Garavaglia and Worman, they have some pretty interesting information of historical use and writings of all manner of arms. My local library has them, I borrow them for refresher reading now and then. Reading about some things can be a great part of the enjoyment of their history and importance in the greater scheme of things. Helps make them come alive a bit more.

[Hambo]

It's on the list. I'll get to it eventually.

Right now I'm getting sort of ghey for swords and single action (and black powder!) revolvers -- thanks to assorted PF members.. :)

Cap and ball saves a lot of time at the loading press.

Cap and ball saves a lot of time at the loading press.

Loading press when it’s dark out means lots more time shooting when it’s light out at the range.

Have to choose, I guess. I like both, in rifles. Never have shot a c&b revolver.

Excellent books. I have a set signed by the authors.

Great for reading while sipping a nice glass of one's favorite beverage.

My old friend that collected and traded in Sharps rifles had a set, the first ones I saw, then I discovered the library up north had a set. A signed set would be a great addition to ones personal library. Well done!

Concur on the 550, it's just an amazing press.
