Thread: Beginner

Does anyone want to meet up and show me the ropes of reloading? I'm selling my AK in another thread in hopes of funding a reloading setup. I'd like to try it out and see if it's something I want to do. It would also be a good way to learn more about it. There are some things, I imagine, that you can't learn by reading and reading.

I'll show you what I know.....not much.....

Better than what I know... nothing! :D

Well, I take that back. I've read through a couple reloading manuals and have a general idea of the basics, but I'd like to see it put into practice. When are you available?

Sounds good. Let me know.

I'm somewhere between both of ya. I've loaded a few rounds of 45, found out my pistol doesnt like the bullet (malfunctions in almost every mag) and that was pretty much the end of my fun.

I really need to get components load up the brass I have.

Have you started looking at presses yet? I have a Lee singe stage that seems pretty good for what it is and a Lee Pro 100 that seems like a real POS.

I've heard several people say the Hornady Lock-n-load is the best deal in progressives right now.

I'm looking at the Lee Turret press. I plan on reloading .38spl, .45ACP, and .223/5.56

Kempf Gun Shop looks to have quite a package deal. I can get the press, dies/turrets for those 3 calibers, loads of accessories, all for around $425-450 shipped (can't remember the exact price off the top of my head right now).

I been doing all my loading on a Lee single stage

I was looking at the lock and load on Midway. It's out of stock until early May, but you can backorder it. Hornady is running a deal for 1000 bullets when you buy that press (along with varying amounts of bullets for other reloading equipment parts).
