Hey from South Tennessee

Post by EdgeOfEden »

While I grew up in the country, once I went to college most of my life has been spent living in neighborhoods. Now retired I was finally able to move back to the country. Setup a shooting berm and then had a friend talk me into reloading a little over two years ago. Of course he wanted me to go blue, but after looking at the investment and not even knowing whether I would like reloading, I decided to go Lee Red. I'm glad I did as I now own 5 Lee Presses including the New Auto Breech Lock Pro.

I have come to discover that I like reloading so much that I am going to have to shoot more; so I can reload more. My firearms are of the usual variety and calibers. I have currently been using my LoadMaster for 44 magnum (to feed my Henry and Redhawk) and 9mm. I hope in the near future to start reloading .223/5.56, but I haven't decided yet whether I will do that on the LoadMaster or the new ABLPro. I'm still thinking Loadmaster.

Lee value has allowed me to expand my reloading room far faster than I ever could have imagined if I had bought other color presses. While my friend may scoff, the targets on my shooting berm are invisible to press color. I'm not knocking other presses however. I know they are of excellent quality, but I am quite happy with Lee Precision.

Thank you for allowing me to join.

Thanks, Ranch Dog. While I love my LoadMaster, setup of the Auto Breech Lock Pro is really a piece of cake in comparison. I haven't yet had a chance to really put it through it paces yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Herzlich willkommen from Germany!

I'm looking forward to a review of the breech lock pro.

Greetings and welcome. I am a lover of the single stage for rifle but then again I don't shoot enough to need high rates of production. I reload .223 for a bolt rifle and spent a lot of time effort and money working up loads.
