Thread: Best Reloading kit to start with?

The thing about a progressive is that one step in the progression is the powder throw.

For me a big part of accuracy is consistency - putting all of those factors over which you do have control - on your side.

Unless its a very accurate piece of kit (= expensive), I would doubt that a progressive press would throw a powder measure down to 0.1gn consistently like my Lyman does.

Happy to be proven wrong - in fact I'd be interested to know what sort of consistency you get out of a progressive press.

I have to agree with you on the powder throw.
I do have some doubts that the dillon is that accurate

Having said that, the 223, is giving clover leafs at 100m. The 9mm, well its a bit harder to tell, but when i'm in the groove i seem to hit things ok, ie its either a good or bad day shooting over all, rather than me being able to tell individual rounds ( shooting ipsc, so a bit of lead flying and 100 rounds upwards on stages) but i'm also a shit shot!

Id only use the 650 for the bulk stuff at the moment - specifically to do with the powder throw, (using stick powder on both, so hence concerns) but may start looking to up the accuaraccy on the powder somehow.

Nice work .. that would do for most hunting situations .

Mine does that at 150yds, and I can reliably headshoot rabbits and hares out to 230 yds. Consistent powder is however only on piece of the puzzle .. but then I have been know to get a little obsessed about things like this

Apparently ( @ebf ) powder charge weight is a lot less of a factor with Pistol .. but quantity is ... I have no idea , I dont shoot pistol.
