So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

[indianabob]

there may be...what i did is bought a good reloading manual and started out with a lee turret press...go slow and dont do anything else while reloading, it can be very easy to not charge a case,put a primer in upside down, or double charge a case... believe me a primer has enough ump to expel the bullet into the barrel.

Additional questions from a newby.

Very interesting. I am really interested in getting started, but didn't know where to begin. Is it possible to obtain used equipment? Is so, is it a good idea or should I be leary. Is there a good source for used equipment? Thank you very much for offering your advise.

Thank you for this extremely informational thread! I hope to start reloading on a small scale soon and I think this info is great.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for all of this info. Nothing like getting a good foundation of information to start from.

Looks like a lot of good info! I'm trying to decide if I want to reload. I have a pretty wide variety of calibers - .45acp, .38 spc., .380, 9x18 Mak., 7.65x53 Arg., .223/5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R. The last two are relatively cheap to buy outright, but I think the others might be worth reloading. I'm also getting a Garand M1, so I'd like to be able to load "Garand-safe" 30-06. I don't get to shoot nearly as much as I like though, so the initial "start up" expense gives me sticker shock. It seems like it would take quite awhile to recoup my initial investment.

Thank you for this. Just starting the process of considering reloading and it seems like a very intimidating subject. You've given a great starting point.

10mm

is it really that big of a deal with 10mm ammo? prices arent much different than 45 right?

 

[Dundee]

Really appreciate this post. Looking at getting into reloading.

 

[wilianknow]

Thank for the info. I'm jumping back into reloading been out of the game for awhile. Looking forward to some fun time.

Great post, thank you. On the 10mm, I think it does save a good amount of money, for the 10mm's I've reloaded so far, I've got the cost down to somewhere around $120 a round, but it goes down everytime I pull the handle.

anyone reload .410? I saved some of the shells from this past weekend. If anyone wants them, they are yours!

Excellent post, a friend and I are ready to take the plunge into the world of reloading. Thanks for all the info.

Thank you very much. Bought my first press this weekend I've been looking for this type of information. Thanks for the links to

 

[burt gummer]

thanks for the info, i need to start stocking up on ammo

 

[xxkornxx56]

I have most of what i need but this list definitely helped me patch the holes. I'd still be a lot more comfortable finding someone locally who could help me with my set up.

Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club has a 10-12 week class thru the winter in their clubhouse, and you do NOT have to be a member to participate. Cost is around 175 or close to it. Nice place to shoot and trap also. FALL CREEK VALLEY CONSERVATION CLUB
