[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2137746, member: 83819"] I’ve already read a few different posts from the search feature and just looking for a few pointers for a new reloaded. Ok so this will be my absolute first crack at reloading. Questions.... Primers - large rifle or magnum? I’ve read guys using magnum. I know a shop that gets them so I need to figure out which ones to buy. They are over priced but will break down 1000 count boxes (CCI primers) into packs of 100 for $15 each. Knowing I will not have a lot of powder to buy which primer would you use to start with? Seems like large rifle primers are a bit easier to get then the magnum. powders - if you are going to over pay for a pound or 2 which powder? I think they were selling a pound around $ bullets seem to be pretty easy to find and I have about 50 once fired Hornady brass. my goal is to just start loading. I’m there is going to be a learning curve but I have to start somewhere. I’ve got access to dies so I don’t need to buy those yet. Just been reading and watching videos and now want to get to loading and shooting. yeah I know I’m over paying for this stuff but I want to learn and I can’t do that sitting on my couch and playing on the internet waiting for prices to drop. That’s why I won’t be buying a lot of supplies right now. Just enough to get my hands dirty [/QUOTE]
