So, I have been reloading for shotguns since I was a kid, and for rifles since I was in my early twenties. But I have never reloaded for handguns.
Coincidentally, I have recently caught the 1911 bug, and have just about decided to jump in feet first for a lot of reasons, among them the fact that I live in Cali.
I'll take all the input I can. Almost bought a Dillon 550 in the Free Classifieds here last week, and may regret not having done so, but ...
OK, so what machine for the long haul?
I take it buying 1000 rounds of factory .45 ACP ammo and saving the brass is a plan with some merit.
What should a newbie know going into this?
