I want to start loading .45 ACP and .308. I'll be adding .44 spcl and 9mm soon. I have an old Dillon 450jr that I got from someone a while back. It looks like it's been sitting around for a long time before I got it. It has .45 dies on it but I can't use it for the .308 so I am looking at getting another press. A Lee Classic Turret has been suggested. I also have these dies.
I have a ton of questions! Let me start with a few.
Do I need to buy a powder/expanding die for .45? The RCBS kit has an expanding die but no way to add powder. Should I just buy a 4 piece set?
Should I get the Dillon fixed up and use it for pistol calibers and just get a Lee Breech Lock press for the .308?
The .308 will only be going through my new bolt gun so I was thinking of getting the 2 piece Lee collet dies. Is that a good way to go?
