Now I feel like a REAL reloader

[cindynles]

I just got my first order from Powder Valley. I feel like a real reloader now with 8lbs of W231 and 10K primers on my bench . I know, I know, its a small order by the standards of the veteran reloaders here, but you got to start someware.

Now if only my orders from Precision Delta and Bear Creek would show up, I ordered every thing on the same day........

Can't go wrong with 8lbs of 231 and 10k primers. Congrats. You're doing it the right way.

Feels great to finally get suppies in and be able to start loading, I started with 2000 primmers and only 2 lbs of powder but it will grow

[cindynles]

I started with 1lbs cans and primers from my LGS. But at $30/lbs for powder and $40/1000 for primers it was time to bite the bullet and buy in bulk.

Hey, that's a good amount! Your doing a lot better than me:

1-Rock Chucker Supreme kit still in the box

I will be starting with 3-1lb bottles of Trail Boss, IMR-something and Win. 231 powder and some sleeves of primers.

8lb x 7000gr = 56000gr / 4gr load = 14,000 loaded rounds. Its not a small order for pistol.

Wait until you load rifle and you try to convince yourself that ordering 4 8lb jugs to get the hazmat waived is a good idea.

For those of you guys ordering this kind of bulk, where do you store the powder?

I use a lockable shelved wooden cabinet...

Large rubber/plastic tub on floor of closet in spare bedroom and another next to one of the gun safes. But there is more than two 4lb jugs. Primers in plastic shoebox size tubs on shelf of same room. No small children at home and can close the door in needed.

Good news! Would that more Californians would start reloading. It's our right, and we need to exercise it as part of our defense of it.

Woo hoo, the Precision Delta order showed up. It came priority mail and the mail man was not happy. I didn't have the heart to tell him another (heavier) package is on the way from Bear Creek.

No kidding, I order all my powders in bulk to save the hazmat fee, so I pretty much always seem to have about 80 lbs of powder around, and the new fully loaded Dillon 650....... I really need help
