I've tried hand/arm-mounted gadgets but don't care for them - several reasons. My solution is a large contraption involving fishnet material draped from a wide frame with a tarp underneath. Not meant to catch, just knock directly to the ground. Big so I can stand and move just a little. Wind breezes through the net vs. blown over.  'Draped' is key as any exposed (hard) frame surface will cause ricochets to be lost or hit your face.

I've been happy with a Redding Micrometer Adjustable Taper Crimp Die. Though a taper crimp isn't rocket science, eh?

Let us know how you like the Mighty Armory dies. I've read where a sizing die was playing rough. Here's one: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/beware-mighty-armory-qa-qc-nothing-but-issues.891196/

"...mid priced, but quality progressive reloading setup."

I'm unsure about 'mid priced' but have come to know and greatly appreciate quality. My time is best spent ensuring quality rather than regularly tinkering, adjusting, etc. To the extent I may buy/cry once and can set/forget, I do, with a long-term horizon.

Every bench, at some point, should have the equivalent of a single stage. I went another step with a turret in the set/forget spirit. Always using a universal de-primer and Redding G-Rx push-through. (Nice to keep de-priming garbage off my progressive.) A collet-puller sees occasional use along with a belted-mag collet sizer. These four dies reside on a Redding T-7.

Re: volume, I'm low/mid-range loader for primarily handgun rnds. (Low vol rifle on the T-7.) Press qualities I sought were simplicity, reliability, ease of use/cartridge change, CS, after-market/mod-friendly. I went with a 550 and remain awfully pleased.

Most (all?) progressives can benefit from various mods, from after-market parts to tweeks and polishing. Don't overlook the gain from gradually getting your press thoroughly dialed.

I just noticed that the Hodgdon website now has much lower reduced load amounts for 180gr with Longshot, but the data for 200 gr is the same as the 180. ...my old load data book says 8.5-9.5 at 180. They are now listing 7.5-8.4.

The 'old data' you're referring to is in the context of a Sierra JHC bullet (8.5 - 9.5 gr). My Hodgon Manual ('17) shows the same load. Hodgdon website now shows 7.0 - 8.2 gr, same bullet.

The 'new' data you cite, 7.5 - 8.4 gr, is for a HiTek coated lead, Acme Bullet Co 40-10MM 180FP-NLG. Good to see data for coated becoming more common.

As for the significantly diminished load for the Sierra, I'd like to learn how Hodgon arrived at that conclusion.

I replaced my stock RSA (G20 Gen4) with an ISMI (captured) guide rod and 22 lb spring. I purchased from MidwayUSA (spring, guide rod). Be sure to order the necessary reducing ring adapter that that will seat the rod in the front of the Gen 4 slide. A drop of Loc-tite on the spring-retaining cap-nut is wise.

This set-up has been reliable with everything from mild factory loads to hot spice. The hot brass went from county limits to my zip code with the 22 spring. Perhaps a 24 pounder would keep it on my block?

Howdy gang - new member here but I've been warm to the 10 for awhile. Nice to see the growing popularity and following of the 10mm Auto cartridge. I've been on the sidelines looking in from time to time and enjoy learning from the knowledgeable folks. I appreciate the info and generosity -shall hope to reciprocate.
