Reloading advice

[Jsryan7]

Think I might just do that to get a sense for powder types, lingo, etc. pretty excited about building my set up and getting this going! Tired of spending so much $$ and having to rely on others to provide a product. Being self sufficient with some stock on hand in this space just makes sense (dollars and sense)!

Check out reload OC, Katella exit off of the 57 freeway.

He's got powder and primers in there and will answer any questions you might have.

As stated above, I'd recommend a turret press. I went with the Lee Classic because of price...it's cool because it is definitely a strong, sturdy press and you can have it as a single stage or auto-index that makes it semi-progressive. Very cool press and it's easy to grow with and understand.

Easy, I am glad you mentioned ReloadOC at (now at Batavia x Taft in Orange) . I didn't notice that he said he is in Orange.
there are several others too. Fowler's and Turners come to mind, both also in Orange. However Reload
and Brian, the owner are probably the best to start with.

If you're going to be loading for a wide variety of calibers I would suggest a well made turret press. I also reload 6 calibers. After going to a redding T7 with 2 heads for ALL my dies... I'll never look back. All my dies set up for all calibers, all the time. Just a head swap at most if I need to change. You get the Strength and accuracy of a single stage and versatility of multiple calibers.

This is definitely the way to go my T7 is the stuff, I started out with a single stage RCBS then went with a Lyman turret but once I saw the Redding I had to have it. YMMV

hi ya,, you didn't say where you are;
for example if in L.A.
go to Angeles Range where there is an excellent reloading store.

and don't listen to any of their advice.

Your safety depends on it.

Reload in Anaheim is run by someone who actually.. you know... reloads. Probably a better bet IMO.

I want to start reloading. I have many different handgun and rifle calibers and shoot often enough where I am collecting my own brass.

I'm looking to reload .223, .308, 22-250, 9mm, 40 & 45.

Any advice on a good system and where to buy affordab,e primers, powder and bullets?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My advice...quit posting about what you wanna do.

Start reading all the previous noob threads just like yours...there are hundreds.

Read all the threads about reloading machines.

There is a sticky at the top of the page...read that too.

When you are done reading, take a reloading class.

And there are dozens of shops with reloading supplies, and threads that list them.

And there is always bing and google to assist you in searching...as well as search bots that will inform you on in stock powders, primers, etc.

The more you educate yourself, the safer you'll be
The better and less problematic you loads will be.
And you'll get that satisfaction of making your own ammo.
