Do I need to tumble?

[Mr. Neal]

Try bullseye its cheap and I've never had a problem with it. Its pretty effective in my semi auto. Though it does leave leading problems in my revolver.

reload manual

I have checked into buying the richard lee manual and found it has been discontinue until fall when the 3RD addition is coming out.
I was able to download the 720 page PDF manual on line and found it to be very hard to top reading, it is full of information you just can do without.

I have had really good luck so far with Hodgdon's TiteGroup. It meters consistently and burns pretty clean. If I where you, I would get the 4 die set. From someone new to reloading, it's what I suggest.

Oh ive been off and reloading for a month now haha. Ive got about 1000 rounds done and stored away

Tumblers-get one

Any crud left on brass before you size it for the next reload will transfer itself to the die, then all reloaded cases will be marked by an amount that will eventually make the die worthless to use anymore. I call a tumbler cheap to buy compared to buying a set of dies from time to time. And besides that, the crud goes into your firarms chamber, too. I'd rather feed my gun with at least factory equivalent ammo rather than getting buy. Just food for thought...
