Well after thinking about it for a while I finally broke down and bought some reloading equipment last week. I ended up purchasing a Lyman Turret II kit that included an "upgrade" to an electronic scale.
I loaded my first 50 rounds of .45 ACP and went to the range this afternoon. I messed up 3 rounds, but I was able to fix one, and I think I can fix one of the other ones with a "bullet puller."
The 48 that I shot worked flawlessly though.

Well my messed up rounds were readily apparant prior to firing... I inserted the first primer upside down, I seated the first bullet about an inch too low, and I crushed the sidewall of one case seating the bullet...
In case anyone is wondering which one I salvaged, it was the primer one...
