Ladies and Gentlemen I have decided to dive into the world of reloading this fall. Finally tired of being unable to shoot due to the pangs why wallet feels when I shoot a few hundred rounds off in a day. I will be reloading 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 auto, 38, 357, 223, and 308.
In order to do this I need to pick the fine folks of Ingo's brains in order to compile a list of necessities.
First I am going to go with a turret press, I'm thinking one of the Lyman 6 stage turrets.
Now is where I get fuzzy. I know I will need: A powder dispensing unit; priming apparatus unless it can be done with the press; scale; case trimmer; bullet puller; and ???.
As far as dies go my father generously gave me carbide dies in 9,45, 38/357, and 223. Thus I just need to get 40 and 308.
As far as components go I have been collecting my brass as well as my shooting buddies brass for the past 6 months. That and I have about 700 already primed 308 cases due to an unfortunate event that is another story altogether. I also have several thousand 9, 45, and 223 bullets, again generously donated by my father.
So I guess I need to know which primers I need to acquire and possibly where I could find them in the current climate. As well as what type of powder is the correct type for the different loads that I am attempting.
Just looking to make a "shopping" list so as to have a guide when purchasing. Thank you in advance.
