    First equipment purchase - please review

    I would suggest NOT getting the #1 shellplate and get the #45 instead direct from Hornady. I find the #1 loose for 45ACP. At the same time, I would recommend getting the pistol metering insert and rotor combination, as well as, one additional standard pistol metering insert (also only available...

    SKS and headspace
