What model Hornady?
What calibres do you wish to load for?
How many rounds to you think you'll want to reload each week?

It would have to do 9mm, .308 and .357 so not sure what model Hornady would do it, i probably would load more 9mm then the other calibers

Since you'll be loading pistol calibres you'll need to make lots at a time  ;)
Therefore you will need a progressive press to churn them out quickly.
I haven't had any experience with the Hornady presses for pistol stuff, but their rifle stuff is good enough.
In your new members handbook there is a run down of the more common Lee and Dillon progressive presses which may help.

Have used dillons before, namely Gavin's beast, Julians 550 and Russells - all very nice.

From my research lots of pistol people use the Dillon system, so I Just brought a Dillon 550B from Serious Shooters in AKL.

I got quotes from Reloader Supplies (Onehunga) and Serious we cheaper.


Only loaded a couple of hundred samples so far. Will do more once samples checked on range.

Good luck with whatever system you choose.
