RCBS Small base, Dillon, Lee 3 Deluxe.

RCBS you will only have to trim once after the initial removal of 0.020 and its less stressful on the brass for semi-auto's

Dillons are great, easy to clean, great crimp die and just quality, but pricey.

Lee's are cheap, very good quality for price, have had a set and loaded thousands with them. Some people crimp some don't all depends on what your loading and what your preference is. LFCD does a good job of crimping, if you don't over do it.

77gr is a bit heavy and long for a semi. What is your twist rate?

i can do about 3 revolutions, before i get dizzy, and have to sit down.
