    Not interested in a progressive press. I think I am going to go with a turret. Looking at a Lee's.

    Good we'll see how you like it or not.

    Starts right stays right,

    Over a long haul the progressive is a better choice
    you'll get more done in the same time, Dillon makes the best

    Not just that. But you can learn what pressure loads you shoot best and custom make your practice rounds

    You still can in a way with a turret. Adjust your powder charge. Of course be careful,

    Find some reload era in your area see if they will help you learn
    And get the differences in the two.

    Resizing 45 acp and other pistol ammo is pretty much done automatically with the turret, of course you will need to measure to make sure that the bullet is seated far enough. Now reloading rifle is a whole different ball of wax. Manual cutting is then required.

    I have been using the Remora holster that I bought and I like it a lot. In retrospect, maybe I should have purchased the one with the reinforced top. I notice that when I go reholster, it does take more effort to do. That is my only complaint of it as of now. I find the holster to be real comfortable in the position that I place it and it does stay put. Would I buy another one? Yes I would. Would I recommend this holster to others? Yes I would.

    I Figured you'd like it considering the way you
    wear your jeans an that you require IWB...

    thing is the holsters are not that expensive so
    get on the email list and wait for a sale, they have
    20 and 30 pct off all the time.

    Yesterday was my first day that I have rode my bike while carrying my Colt New Agent and using the Remora IWB HOLSTER. I am very impressed with how comfortable I am on the bike, I can hardly tell that it is there.

    When I first got the Remora and tucking it into position, I must admit at first I thought I wasted money, however, now that I have had a great solid week with it, I have been able to get very good with unholstering and reholstering. Now I have read and watched a lot of reviews about the Remora holster and many of them mentioned that they wear their pants a tad bigger with no belt. I would rather do it this way, and was my intended purpose for the Remora holster, but, I found that the Remora did want to move out of position somewhat. It wasn't horrible, but just enough that I would have readjust every so often. This may top somebody off that I am carrying a weapon. Now I use a belt. I place my weapon in its place then put my belt on and snug it up just enough to keep light pressure on the weapon (holster).

    Texas legislature has passed a Open carry here.
    The governor said as soon as the bill hits his desk he will sign it.
