wanting to get into reloading
i want to get into reloading,what are somethings i ned to get to start out with?
|
Have a look here first:
http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/reloading/174574-new-reloading-read-first.html And get all the primers you can;):woot: |
I'd check first
How easy is it to find components like bullets, and primers and cartridges. It's a little difficult without the preceding.
|
Find a local sporting goods store that stocks those kinds of things and pick up what you need. But first I would get a good reloading manual like the Speer or Hodgdon one and go from there. You should also get a good book on reloading like The ABC's of Reloading or something along those lines to help you better understand what you are wanting to accomplish.

I was a bit overwhelmed to get started in reloading but after I got everything together I realised it isnt bad at all. I did a lot of reading on the internet befor I started.
Pretty simple really. |
Feel free to pm me..been reloading for the last 27 years.Thank God too-just left Gander Mt and a box of .270 that was 17.00 last year are now 37.00

Your best bet is to just buy a good reloading manual first.You'll need one regardless and will get a very good idea whats needed and whats not.I'd suggest the Lee manual.It's the cheapest but is as in depth as the others.I went with Lee gear all the way.My needs are modest so I got their hand held press.It works like a charm as does the other components.
Good luck! |
I bought a Lee aniversary pack and started with that, it done all the reloading for me and a few friends for a fair few years before I started upgrading to better quality gear, I reloaded 45/70, .22 hornet, 6.5 X 55 swede , .308 and done a good job on hunting and plinking loads, I'm into metal sillouette now so need a bit more accurace for hitting rams at 500m so I got some better dies etc.
The LEE RGB dies are a good start and cost bugger all. JMHO West Aussie Maverick:devil:. |
After you have read the stuff, I'd check at my range/gunclub for someone that already loads.Most, would consider it a complement if you wanted to look over the shoulder! They can also answer a lot of questions and clear any apprehension.
