Good Afternoon everyone! I was hoping someone might want to share their reloading set up because I have no idea where to start or what to buy !? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated !
shooting at 1-1200 interested in reloading .270/.308 and some hand gun ammo as wellIt would also really help to know what calibers/ rifles you are loading for. How far you plan to shoot. Target only, PRS, hunting....etc
Add to this a vibratory case cleaner like the Lyman 1200 turbo pro or something similar.I am currently teaching a brand new guy.
1. Redding t7 press. I let him try other single stage presses and he got the redding t7. It's only 125 dollars more than a single stage.
2. Chargemaster lite. You can use balance beam with powder dispenser and trickler too.
3. Mititoyo electronic calipers. 6 inch.
4. Hornady headspace comparator kit.
5. Hornady bullet comparator kit for CBTO.
6. LEE case trimmer for each specific cartridge.
7. Priming tool. If you plan on doing high volume loading get an RCBS bench mount primer.
8. Chamfer debur tool.
9. Dies for your caliber. Redding master hunter dies are awesome, or you can get basic rcbs dies.
10. Primer pocket brush.
11. Case lube for sizing. I use Hornady one shot [shake well and soak cases well]
12. Shell holders
13. Neck brush
14. Brass, powder, primers, bullets.
This will cost about a thousand bucks but my buddy is making good quality ammo and there is nothing that will need constant upgrading because you cheaped out on something.
The Practical Guide to Reloading, by Nathan Foster, is an excellent place to start. I go back to this as a reference all the time. The web site has an amazing amount of info on cartridge, and terminal ballistic performance.Good Afternoon everyone!
