3- Test fire

If still alive after 3 then you can buy a press and dies... and regret starting after you are down $5k in gear

I had looked at a the lee loader in the 45/70 (assuming we are talking about the same thing) but was told not to waste my money and if you are going to do something do it properly.... so never got one in the end.
And don't tell the missus it is a money trap or that will be the end of it ....
She still doesn't know about the shotgun I bought then buried in the back of the safe and she thinks my latest , I can't live without it purchase , and modification of a t3x 308 is a thousand + dollars less than it actually is .... where she got her figures from I don't know ... honest..
