If you have a drill press, you can get by without the hull vice. Then the only tools to buy are scales and the crimping tool. I have an el cheapo drill press that I bought about 20 years ago and it works just fine. Took me 3 or 4 shells to learn to do it perfectly, but even my first attempt shot just fine.

For those that say they don't have time - it takes maybe 2 hours to load up all the shells you will need for a turkey season. And you will have shells that are vastly superior to anything you can buy.

Not mentioning any names, but only somebody who was firmly under the thumb of his wife wouldn't have 2 hours available to get ready for turkey season. wink

edit: Also, Hal is not trying to make a profit and doesn't promote his shot and loads, so I will do it for him. If you wanta get in the tss loading business, get your shot and load data from him. There is nobody else alive that knows as much about tss turkey loads as Hal does.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
