Wana start reloading

[pashok23]

Heck.....you buy the dies and we can start soon as you are ready! Load em up, run out to the range at machias, touch a few off. Got any brass? i have cci mag primers and a few lbs of RL26.  Got a bullet in mind?

Hehe H2O you are awesome, thanks for  willing to help me out. I do have brass.

I like H-1000 for most of my 300WM loads. What brand/size bullet you thinking?

As h20 stated, skip on the kit and shop around to buy quality items right out of the gate.  Stick to rcbs or redding.  Redding hunter series dies are my favorite.  If you shoot enough it will definitely pay for itself.  Personally I very much enjoy the process.  I get up at 0400 just about every morning and do a pot of coffee's worth of reloading before work.  Just shy of 7k rounds of rifle for me this year. Consistency is king when it comes to making accurate and safe boolits.  Quality components and equipment makes that a lot easier. 

Taco made a valid point though.  If you only shoot a box of shells a year, you can buy a pile of ammo for what it would cost you to get set up

I have the Hornady Lock n Load single stage system. I have two presses & powder measures set up. One for rifle, one for pistol.
I am in Arlington close to the Safeway on Hwy9.
You are welcome to stop on down and check this system out.
I can pick.up a set of 300 win mag dies so you can load some up.
I have been wanting to pick a set up just to have on hand. I also have a bunch of other dies all set up.in a large variety of calibers in there is another you would like to load.

Try are visit as many of the guys you can with different systems to see what you want before investing on one type of system then deciding to go another way.


I like the lock n load single stage system over others because the lock n load are in bushings and swap out in second. The bushings cost about $4 a piece. Money well spent.

....................and read about reloading and ask questions if you don't understand something..

Despite my earlier advice, if you get into it buy high quality stuff once and be done.

I have a box of 100 Hornady ELD-X .308 cal I bought but do not need.  They are 178 gr. with a BC of .552.  I'm asking $35.

Quality does not always mean the most money.  Start with a good single stage press and build from there.  I personally like my RCBS stuff.  If you like the craft then expand from there.  Don't be affraid to buy used....this stuff is tough and last for years.  IMO progressive presses are great but not for precision.  I have two Dillon 550's and load pistol and rifle with them but not my precision rifles. 

Good luck and don't be affraid to ask quesions.
