No need go through FFL, just follow the instructions and you're set.
are there going to be food booths??
? This is what they include in the kit for $159.99 with free shipping from Amazon.=================
A free Square Deal is big catch. I hope you kokua your friend plenty.
I don't mind having people drop by for a visit. But it has to be early morning, about 8 or 9am.
Allow about 2 hours because I can yak about gun stuff for hours.
I am off on Mon/Tue but any morning is ok. I am in Waipahu. Where are you?
If you are serious about loading for your 45 auto, start collecting these items:
Sturdy/heavy table or bench. There are both downward and upward forces
Analog or digital calipers
small tumbler+media+polish for nice shiny ammo
reusable ammo boxes are good to have
acetone based carb or brake cleaner (Johnsens non-chlorinated brake cleaner)
brass-powder-primers-heads obviously
primer pocket chamfering tool if using mil brass
just watch the YouTube videos, it's free.... lol
===================
I suggest kissing up to a friend who already knows how to reload and start from there.
On-the-job training works real good when learning to reload.
It will save you much time and heartache.
I'm off on wednesdays and thursdays. lol
I've been using Square Deals for about 20 yrs.
They are excellent for mass producing pistol ammo for ONE caliber.
Not so easy to change calibers.
Lots of plastic parts that wear out or break. The main operating handle occasionally breaks.
The original ball handle knob hurts my hand so I made a shovel handle grip that also increases
the leverage for easier operation. see pic.
If you have never loaded ammo before, I don't recommend using this press in "full auto" mode.
You can get into trouble REAL fast.
