The only way I could make an 8:30 start time would be if a bugler blew reville standing next to my bed. I think your matches would be better attended with a later start time, but maybe that's just me.

 

Adios,

And I'll beat you to it: Nobody is to ask, "Who's reville?"

Edit: Just checked the QSC website and it says May 19th.

 

South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow shoots the second Saturday.

Quinton in Salem shoots the third Saturday.

Bob. I'll mention a later start to the guys who run it. I wouldn't mind a slightly later start either but I also enjoy getting out a little earlier.

 

MY: Tell me truthfully - you got up at the crack of dawn, shot this match and now you are home early........do you really feel like doing anything other than taking a nap? :icon_mrgreen:

 

How did it go?

 

Adios,

I had fun at the match even though I only shot half of it. (had to sleep before work)

 

There were over 30 people there, the start time seems great because you get out that much earlier.

6 stages this time; it was a long day but fun. I finished around 3 then left, there were still people shooting when I rolled out.

I mentioned a later start, he will look into it (survey or whatever).

I do get up at the but crack of dawn but I had to mow the lawn before I could nap.

Tosser-1911's next month.

    • There is no press that you can just sit on a table.  They need to be bolted down securely so there is no flexing.  They do make complete stands that work good too.  I agree with the fact that the Lee Classic turret is a great starter press.  You cant realize the full speed of a progressive when you are first starting off.  You NEED to go SLOW until you learn the ropes.
    • Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process.  Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo.  Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited.  It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way.  I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on.  It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT.  Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice.  See it in action.
    • The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower.
    • The Dillon 550's are amazing machines.  Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive.   You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull.  It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future.    
    • Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive?
