Just ordered my first reloader

#4 And you'll have ammo on a rainy day when suppliers are all out for some reason.

+1.
Even when I say Im out, I could crank out a thousand if I just get off my ***.
Ive had buyers remorse buying projectiles/powder/primers. Dont worry. The more you spend, the less often you have to spend.

^ very good point. I haven't even got the reloader delivered yet and I already went out and bought .38 bullets, 9mm bullets and a tumbler today.

[socalbowhunter]

Oh and primers. No powder yet because I want to wait until I get the kit with the book in it.

Buy the Lyman #49 book and read it. You will be glad you did plus it is a great source for load data.

[socalbowhunter]

Thanks for the tip DnH. I'll look for it.

Nice purchase, you won't be disappointed. I purchased the Rock chucker standard kit over 30 years ago and the set up is still going strong.

I talked to my father in law today and told him about my purchase. He said, oh you could have just taken mine. I'm like, I want one that works. He told me his is over 30 years old and he just used it last month.
He's happy I got a set up though, now I can load his ammo.

Having two would be nice. Some days, I have mine setup for priming/powder/seating .223 with a backlog of 1500, but I really want to load .270. Cant switch until Im done. Thats when I wish I had two.

bye the way all the components keep goping up so buy more than you will need it will only cost more latter

He said that, so I am going up tomorrow to get it, along with all of his other reloading equipment. Press, dies, bullets, powder, primers, lead and casting setup.

I use to work at a gun store and I remember the prices being WAY cheaper in 2004-2008. I better stock up.
