    Pros and cons of body armor. Is it even needed for your prep kit?

    This is one of those threads that I can sort of relate to, I own 2 vests because I have 2 daughters and if it comes down to a fight IE someone wants what I need to survive and I don't want them to have it there is going to be a fight. Now I have places where my family could hide in that case but...

    I am sorry I took it that way, I guess I should heed my own text.

    Wow lets remember this is text. I also think your responses are slightly bias and I base that on the fact you sell Dillon products, having said that I am product neutral I have never purchased a new press or many other tools needed to get started and have produced accurate loads through my...

    But he can pick up an RCBS kit for $250 new in the box free shipping on E-bay. A set of Hornady Custom dies for around $48.00 and not worry about resale.... Plus there isn't anything wrong with used gear if it is done right....

    I have nothing against Dillon products having said that, if a person is looking to start out on a shoe string or is just not sure if reloading IS for them the Dillon at $560.00 is an expensive way to start only to find out that reloading isn't for them. Time is not something that should be...

    Jmacoo I have no doubt about the Dillon however, I am WAY TO ANAL to allow automatic powder loads. Although I have not shot as many rounds as you I have had zero misfires and I will not have. I am a believer that time is not part of the reloading equation. When and if I ever need to use my...

Reloading is also very precise, and when done correctly...

    I am not going to go through all the little nuances of reloading in these articles, as it would take forever to do so. I will show you where to go and the best way to get there though; the rest is up to you. After reading your manual(s), get yourself a place to build or set up your bench...
