your videos are great, i bought one but i am below amature.  your lite and camera are bad cause your lay out and presentation are spot on....You take seconds to long showing each part.....easy for me to spend your money,,lower camera angles and lots of lite please. Lee misses the boat when telling beginer how to set up. I had to watch your videos to learn 4 die set. keep it up!

@Pushyhog I agree. The video is poor and this was one of the first videos I ever made. I used a standard web camera. I now have a good hd cam and may revisit this topic.... if I get the time.

Thankyou for your video. I am thinking of buying one of these to get my feet wet in reloading.

I'm new to reloading and STRICTLY interested only in making dummy rounds for Tap-Rack-Bang drills (commercial snap caps cost too much for the volume I require @ indoor ranges). I plan to use used 9mm brass w/dead primers.

1) For my purposes (dummy rounds), do I need a tumbler or is that unnecessary for me?

2) Am I correct in understanding that I just need a Lee hand press, Lee 9mm die set, Lee 9mm case holder and whatever bullet heads I choose? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!

@otomosix you wont need a tumbler if your using clean brass and it looks like your list is all you need although I would advise against making dummy rounds that look just like live rounds. It would be easy to mix them up.

These both Parts 1 & 2 are filled with techniques, procedures, AND steps to the reloading process. I will be using a Forster press single stage BUT all the techniques, procedures, AND steps will be exactly the same. I will purchase the Lee 4 set dies & use them with my Forster press. I am an amateur & have not re-loaded before BUT I think I have enough information to begin. I'm sure that when I purchase these other equipments they will contain instructions. THX for your help. Sincerely, JAMES.

@banshee8989 Well, I plan to get different bullets (in color and shape) than what I usually practice with (maybe flat tips or something). One last question, do you think I'll need to superglue the bullet heads so they don't accidentally dislodge into the barrel or will a Lee hand press be strong enough to keep the bullet seated in the casing during a hammer strike (to the dead primer)? Thanks!

I just purchased the breech lock version of this press along with everything to get started reloading 9mm. I think I'll like being able to do something shooting related when I'm at home that isn't cleaning my gun. The initial investment to a newbie like me is very reasonable if you can settle for the hand press. The new breech lock version looks to be faster, too, and the dies cost as much as this press.
