DO NOT NEED case pad for case lube, Small stuff use Hornaday spray 1 shot lube, big stuff like 30-06 to 50bmg use poly gloves and a touch of Imperial Sizer wax, little goes a long way.

I wonder if other "Handloading Luddites" are as amused as myself when very basic problems are described by those who learned on (and never explored away from) progressive machines: Problems that single-stage pupils found solutions for very early on.
This is not to say one approach is better than the other. I believe each approach has proper application to desired results. Rather, it is a statement toward hard evidence that a Handloader that begins and learns on single-stage equipment can insulate and educate himself toward many pitfalls that may erupt should he later choose to become a Reloader with progressive equipment.

Couldn't agree more. Started with a Single Stage and will always have a single stage. Also have a nice progressive. I guess that's why there are two ends to my bench. One of each press
I can honestly say that by starting with a Singe Stage I found it totally unnecessary to consult either the Manual or Customer Service for troubleshooting when starting up my Dillon 650. If you don't know what's supposed to happen at each stage then you're pretty much lost from the beginning. Doesn't make either the manual or CS unnecessary, just makes them less needed.
Back to the topic of the thread stating things you don't need for reloading, I can honestly say that most of what I have on my bench and in the storage boxes around it are more "wanted" than "needed". Isn't that the American Way?
I should offer him $100 for the Dillon just to get it out of his attic![/QUOTE said:Ill split the 100 with you and we can finance a bulk buy on components after we flip the Dillon.
+1 to learning on a single stage and buying second hand. Im pretty pleased with Lee dies.
What do you all think about this? --> I would say virgin brass is unnecessary for 99%+ of all rounds handloaded on the planet.

Virgins are overrated anyway.Ill split the 100 with you and we can finance a bulk buy on components after we flip the Dillon.
