@goindownthe1road That's a old Lyman press not made anymore. I think they were called the Sparten. They also made a turrent press that was tilted like this single stage is.
What pistol are you loading for? I'm going to start loading .40 S&W for a Glock 35 and I'm wondering if I should be using one of the EGW Undersize sizing dies?

what kind of press is that ? i use a little bit of case lube to make sizing a bit easier even though you don't have to.

What's a good powder to use? I was thinking about unique but i'd like alternatives as well.
