    Thats one aspect of reloading i would like to try some stage, ive merely opted for the "simple" cast loading and experimenting with variations of the Loverign design, ive one that i can HP but i think thats only just on 180 i think, could even be 160's. I need to do more work on it and the alloy mixes.

    If you dont mind me asking what did the set up cost and where is a good place to start?

    I brought the press used (just) and with some dies.

    NEW price on press is over $8kUS and dies are over $1k a set - with a waiting period on dies of up to 2 years - I'm 1 year into it and still not got my punches I need

    I'm still struggling with the Yanks & their lead times.....

    It's like a gigantic pissing competition to see who can make their customers wait the longest

    If you pay some of them a big fee up to & over 100% you can cut your lead time by half or more

    If Kiwis were in that position most of us would get more staff/machinery & turn stuff out faster.....
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc
