Rifle reloading?

[JackOfAllTrades]

Well, yeah!  That's a given. If you reload ammo for cheaper, you'll most likely shoot more. Which makes you spend more on shooting as a whole. New guns. Different calibers/cartridge/chamberings. The hobbie is like a disease! That flesh eating disease that just takes bites out of the check book at random. You'll be subscribing to reloading vedors, surfing the web for deals and going to gun shows.

Nothing wrong with that! You've been warned.

Forgto my other  ... I use a good old fashion RCBS RockChucker single stage press for ALL my rifle loadings (one bullet at a time works best for me when it comes to long shot rifle loading) and I borrow a Dillion RL550 to "mass load" my .45ACP rounds.

Both excellent at what they do!

Get a name brand kit any you'll be fine.
Important things to keep in mind.
Keep good records, I use spiral bound notebooks.
Only reload when you have the time, dont rush, get a routing down.
Don't drink while reloading.
Only have one can of powder sitting on the reloading bench at a time. and dump the uniflow or what ever thrower you choose back into the can when your done.
Ask questions here, the only stupid question is the one you never asked.
I could probably go on for a while but I've already posted enough advise that you didn't ask for.

You've seen a photo of my reloading room? (I've got a Dillon 450, not a 550)

I decided to start back reloading last year after not doing it for 39 years. Don't have a lot of extra bucks laying around so I have been picking things up here and there. Bought the Lee Classic Cast Turret kit from Cabela's last Jan. Picked up a Rockchucker. Traded for some other things. Still haven't reloaded a round! With the way things were trying to get componets I held off. Should have things set up in a couple weeks. Just need to get primers and powder. Dumped the old stuff I had, was proably still good but figured it would be fine for the garden.It don't have to break the bank to get set up, Just take some time!!

I like the RCBS Rockchucker kit. Has most of the things you need to get started. You will need a good caliper. The ole 30-06 is a great cal to begin loading. Look at IMR 4350 or RL-17 powders. Look over a reloading manual to find a load you want to try. I use the Nosler book the most. Good luck and pay close attention to what you are doing and you should have much better groups!

I well add to the Rockchucker list.  Mine is over 25 years old.  Still works like new.  But you will need some calipers.

I have to decide if I'm going to keep the Rockchucker. All the reading I've done before and after I bought my kit, I think the turret will do every thing I need. Set up as a single stage for rifle and a turret for my 9mm. I like the idea of having the dies all set up and just swapping the plates. That and I am real short on space!!! Researching and deciding is half the fun for me! LOL
