[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1742115, member: 82005"] Beautiful country up there! First off, calm down. I think we can all help you with getting into what we call METALLIC RELOADING. I have been reloading since the mid 70's. I live in northern COOS County New Hampshire. I have had a old LYMAN reloading single stage press since the 1970's. And it still works just fine. I still use it all the time. All you need is that and it takes some time to duplicate your loads as you have been using in factory ammo. You will need powder and the appropriate primers as well as the right weight bullet. I have not loaded for this GA Precision 6.5 SAUM. I mainly load in a large game caliber for 308 and 35 Remington. Most factory loaded bullets have the velocities on the back of the box. If not you can contact them for velocities. Then look at powder charges for your particular caliber and find an appropriate powder that will give you the same velocity for the factory load so you don't have to buy the factory load. You may have to adjust your sights or scope to the new round you are producing yourself but it's less expensive than buying factory ammo. On another note, save all your brass from the fired rounds. they can all be reloaded many times but inspect them when reloading to see if there are any cracks or deformation like bulges. If you can't get them out with the reloading dies then they are trash. I wish I could be there with you to guide you through thi as I have many reloader newbys here in New Hampshire.
