what caliber(s) are you shooting? Reloading supplies: Dillon, Midway, Frankfurt arsenal are a few. Light loads are the way to go the ninny's complain about their weak (Not Fowler made)steel targets getting hurt by medium and heavy loads.

I have a Uberti 45 long colt. Blued 4 3/4". Its a lot of fun to shoot. I do some reloading for my 9mm and 45acp. Will have to get dies for the long colt. I load with a lee press.

Since you're already a handloader, you're half way there.
Get yourself a good reloading manual, if you don't have one, and stick with recommended loads on the low end of the pressure/velocity scale.
Personally, I've had good results with Unique and WW231 (similar to Unique in burning rate, but easier to meter, and cleaner). Trail Boss is a good choice for .45 Colt as well; uses up the large case capacity.
Others will chime in with more advice and suggestions.
