Don't go for the cheapo hornady progressives

I think they're pretty shit.

I'm probably going to get into reloading when i buy a SAA repro, .45 LC isn't cheap

.45LC is easier

you can get by without even individually inspecting brass headspace on straight walled rimmed cartridges

(That are low pressure)

Higher pressure shit I would not want to just size, check length and pound rounds out on

Highly wouldn’t recommend a progressive for a beginner. Did it myself and regretted instantly.

What progressive did you use?

you can single load with a progressive to start off with.

I only keep a single stage around because I don't have a progressive that can do 338 lap 😛

A lee turret

Reloading .30-06

terrible.

The only lee shit I use are their crimp dies

oh and deprimer

I have one of their single stages, it is pure chinesium

Its got the distance to do 338 lap but it's too bendy because of the cast architecture

The turret is pretty solid if it’s pot metal then it’s the sturdiest pot metal I’ve ever handled

My main issues is progressives in general are to fiddley to work with for someone new

Took 4 hours to crank out 200 rounds and luckily none blew up

You know I have been in TX for over 2 years and still don't have a revolver or a lever action

For shame

Uberti black powder revolvers are nice and cheap plus they’re fun to tinker with and icing on the cake dirt cheap to shoot

My local shop is selling a .500 S&W and I'm tempted

I wouldn't after firing one round of .500 S&W most people either never shoot it again or return the revolver.

Also for the price you could buy a nice .44 magnum or .357 magnum plus have money left over to buy plenty of ammo or another gun as well.

Personally I think it's more a coffee table gun than anything else.

after shooting a few rounds of .454 Casull no thanks

Yeah i remember watching an older iv8888 video and they said a lot of people would sell theirs or return the range rental after firing a few shots

Not even using the whole cylinder lol

How many people bought a S&W .44 Mag after watching Dirty Harry, fired one shot and never shot it again?

Lol

If i buy another revolver outside of the saa repro and a black powder revolver i plan on buying, i'll probably go with ruger

I am serious, a lot of FFLs I talked to over the years told me about traded in S&W .44s that had 2 shots in the (1 factory and 1 range)

S&w's hillary hole is a dealbreaker for me

These were from the 70's and 80's

Yeah ik, talking about now

I kind of want a governor because it can shoot .45ACP as well as "Bubba stupid" but
