I'm so glad I ended up investing in this. The girlfriend recently bought herself a judge rifle and the 45 colt is stupid expensive to buy. To reload it myself it's around 7$ a box, to buy it the going price is close to 50$ a box. Plus I love that round in a Marlin!

I ended up getting a Dillon 550 because the square deal was limited to pistol only, and even though right now I'm only loading pistol rounds, I would like to eventually load rifle rounds. Basically doing exactly what Old Mechanic is doing now, get rid of that corrosive stuff while firing the beater Mosin Nagant's.

Might start reloading .410 Gauge shotguns as well, since we have a few that use the round and rarely bring them out because of cost. Even though it's half the charge of a 12 gauge, it's nearly twice as much! Ridiculous. It's actually cheaper to feed my Saiga 12 than it is to feed the single shot .410.
