Article: 9:8 I have been looking in the Shotgun News for progressive reloader prices and have seen vast variation in both price and configurations. I basically need to know the cheapest way to reload both .223 and 9mm. I have heard a lot about both Dillon and Lee and remember the statement that "the shell plate for .223 for the Dillon was almost as much as a whole new Lee setup". So what should I do? Should I get a Dillon? A Lee? Should I get one and swap-out the shell plates populated with each size's dies? Should I get one press/plate and change the dies around? (these would be carbide dies, of course) I'm sorry about harping on this subject, but I can't trust most of the stores advice because they only seem to know about what they have in stock, or what they are trying to get rid of. Also, does anyone have a quick and easy way of weighing each round as it comes off the press in order to make sure that it has the proper amount of power in it. I was considering making a balance that would use a "reference round" to compare all the production rounds to. Thanks in advance... Gary (hplabs,allegra,ihnp4)oliveb!olivee!gnome
