Hello from Western Md

Post by Rich44-40 »

Hi. I've been reloading for over 40 yrs. I've used a lot of different dies and presses over the years but have settled on Lee products. I have a Lee Turret and a Classic Turret. I load mostly pistol calibers. I hoping to pick up lots of good tips on this forum.

I wonder what your favorite cartridge is? Hehehe

Welcome to a great friendly site. There is a German gentlemen here who is a big time 44/40 loader. I've loaded a few and love my 92 Winchester.

Herzlich willkommen from Germany!

What calibers are you loading? The classic turret is a great press, I got one, too! But I do my bulk reloading on my pro1000.

Thank you. I'm loading .380, .38/.357, .41 mag, .44 mag, .44-40, .45acp, and .45C. I'll be doing some 45-70 and 30-30 in the future. Maybe .308.

Welcome aboard from the State of Jefferson. I too load with the turret press. I load a lot of different calibers including 44-40 for my model 73 Winchester. Good to have you aboard.
