Title: Last minute help! Please :-)
Post by: Bean Counter on August 29, 2008, 01:09:28 PM: Events of the weekend are turning out such that I may have a chance to do some reloading. I may be staying with someone who has plenty of equipment. I think I'll pass on the 12ga shells for now, but I may take about 10 boxes of my .30-06 cases for reloading.

My understanding is that I will need primers, powder, and bullets. These are hunting/practice-for-hunting rounds I want to reload, so I'm thinking I should just reload with the typical 150/180 grain softpoints that I hunt with.

Any suggestions?? :dunno: Thanks.
