Reloading question

[novabrian]

I want to reload because ammo is expensive and hard to find.I think reloading would be a relaxing and fun hobby in addition to shooting.This way I will be able to shoot a lot more.I am going to order the ABC's of reloading.But my question is this.Does it get any easier than this?

[Fjold]

Nope, from there it gets more complicated. It can get faster but not easier.

[joelogic]

Define easier?

A single stage is the simplest.

Progressive is the fastest.

No this is not my stuff.I just saw this on the net while doing some research.I think I got this from craigslist.I want to get started on reloading but I need to get a book first.

It also gets more expensive.

[novabrian]

I want it to be as cheap as possible I have nothing but time on my hands.Looking at the Lee 50th anniversary model.I think I mainly want it for .223 loading. and maybe 30/30, .30 Carbine.

i bought the Lee challenger kit, the anniversary is good also. lee makes a quality product, their dies are inexpensive and easy to use. hard to find a better deal really. hornady's press/reloading kit is also very well outfitted, albeit a bit more expensive, but nowhere near crazy like RCBS or the other high-end guys. aside from my tumbler, everything i have so far is LEE. quality product and reasonable price is what makes it happen.

I'm going to order one of the lee presses. Was reading reviews and from people on here and sounds like Lee is the way to go.

here is a reloading kit o got from some guy at a range
eagle dies for 30 carbine 270, lyman dies for 30-06,ch dies for 308 win
oil dampened scale powder measure funnel collet puller with .270 insert bag of about 100 270 brass bag of about 100 3006 brass (no 30 carb or 308 oh poo) really beat up lyman reloading book

$60

the guy was old and said he has handloaded enough

i figured it was reasonable

the little baggie contains the heads for chaning out the priming arm its capable of large/smalland
/large domed/small domed ? where the hell can you get domed primers?

I think the Lee classic loader is the simplest actually.

[novabrian]

I think the Lee classic loader is the simplest actually.

Whoa.There it nothing to that thing.I might get one for .223 just to try out.$40 can't go wrong with that.

[novabrian]

I think the Lee classic loader is the simplest actually.

I just ordered that one from feebay.

[johnrunner89]

I just ordered that one from feebay.

I bought mine on ebay too for like $12 a while back. Works well in my bolt actions.

Oh and make sure to get a reloading manual(s) to read before hand to understand all the steps. Reloading can be a great safe hobby but also a dangerous one if not cautious.

I don't think round head primers have been available for 30 years or more - Want some?
