Used or cheap reloading equipment in San Diego?

[DJ Skillz]

I'm looking to get into reloading. My buddy gave me a quick lesson a couple weeks ago and I'm going back over to his place this weekend. I want to pick up a press, powder measure, dies, case trimmer, bullets, powder & primers. For now, I will use his equipment for everything else, at least while I'm learning.

I want to pick this stuff up before this weekend, but I'm trying not to get shafted with high retail prices. Are there any shops in San Diego that sell used reloading supplies, or at least have consistently good deals? My friend told me about a shop called La Mesa Collectables, which I'm going to tomorrow, which he says has a good selection and pretty good deals. Is there anywhere else you would reccomend I stop by?

I have yet to find a really 'cheap' reloading anything in San Diego. However, La Mesa Collectibles is the only place that I have seen that has most everything and anything for the reloader. From presses to powder to primers and bullets, they have a real decent selection.

Are they 'cheap'? Not really cheap, but priced okay.

For the press I would look at Criags List or ebay or something similar. Heck, check the sale boards at the local ranges, there is almost always something for sale there.

If you are shooting more, talk to some of your fellow shooters at what ever range you attend. Chances are they are reloaders too and can guide you in the right direction. (Your buddy should know this.)

It seems that once you start to reload, you find all kinds of 'deals' everywhere....of course this is ALWAYS after you just bought your stuff!!
