reloader in the works...

[efnick]

just ordered the lyman mag II kit from cabelas on saturday night. i also ordered 1000 small pistol primers which i hope are in stock. anyways, my plans are to start with 38 special. it will be coming out of a variety of revolvers/ barrel lengths. my question for you folks is, can i get a list of exactly what else i will need to buy to start this? after thursday(day at the range) ill have about a hundred rounds of brass shells to start with too. any tips on cleaning these without a tumbler? thanks guys!

heres a link to the kit i ordered, with a list of what it will come with.

i truely appreciate the offer, first up once i regroup some funds is a set of carbide dies. without those, nothing gets done!

Where you located at? Was thinking about just shipping it out to you as long as you covered shipping 112 pieces of .38 spl with 17 pieces of .357 mag as well. Let me know it is like $5 to ship using a usps flat rate box.

I'd recommend taking Gio up on his offer.

You could clean your shells by hand, e.g. with steel wool, but they'll have lead in/on them. Not great for your health to do that.

I bought several boxes of this to build up a supply of brass and have something to shoot quickly. It is commercially reloaded ammo.

It is a bit dirtier than my reloads but everything worked fine.

These have been tumbled and then rinsed off in warm water then dried with a hairdryer Got most of the brass from another member here and I felt like blessing someone else with it instead of trying to make a buck on it
