WANTED: A Reloader

[xd shooter]

YUP! It's not that bad. You just need to use some common sence.

[babelt]

Alright dude, we need to look at a set up and have someone teach us. I want to shoot more to!

[dlm37015]

lets get together and have a reloading clinic

[BigK]

If the reloading clinic doesn't pan out, I heard that there's a gun shop in Lebanon, TN that offers reloading classes. I'm not sure of the price and I don't recall which one it is, but IIRC it's etiher Lebananon Gun Shop or The Armory. I recall seeing it on their website.

sportsmans warehouse in chattanooga has a very skilled reloading guru and he does a class about once a month, the class is simple but the important thing is you can ask him anything (and can do the same outside the class, he is very helpful).

[jlperryusa]

Do you every get to Huntsville or Pulaski? I am a class 6 FFL holder and can load your ammo. If you are in the area, look me up.

i can help most anytime during the week days or evenings class would be free if somepne wants to learn just let me know

I'd like to reinforce what others have said and encourage you to get set up to reload your own. Savings isn't that great for common calibers, but it is there. Far more important to me however, is the fact that I can custom load ammo to my taste and to my particular firearm's liking. I have several guns in duplicate calibers, and they all don't shoot the same thing well. I can also load quality defense ammo for about the same cost as plinking ammo.

The real savings comes with oddball calibers. If you're really into guns, you'll wind up with one or more of these in time. Calibers like 41 Magnum, 32-20, 218 Bee, 401 Herters PowerMag, etc., are not only nearly impossible to find, the seller will absolutely rape you when you do find them. I can load a box of 38 specials, or a box of 41 Magnums for about the same cost. You can buy a BUNCH of 38 Special ammo for the price of one box of 41s.

I won't lie to you; you'll never save any money reloading......but you WILL get to shoot more!!!

[dlm37015]

do you have any extra 401 brass

[gregintenn]

Fraid not.

[dlm37015]

darn i guess i will keep making mine out of 30/30 .i did talk to steve hornady at the shot show last year about making a run of ammo i think they will it will just be a while longer

[Ramjo]

I have saved all my brass since I started shooting. I have enough to work with if I started doing it myself.

[Guest CDU357]

You can get a Lee Press and dies from Lee reloading. check closeouts on there web site.

If you really want someone to reload for you let me know so I can stay away from both

of You.

[gregintenn]

I bought a Lee anniversary kit 16 years ago, and it's still mounted on my bench! It isn't a real big investment to get started, and you'll find you want to add a thing or two as time goes on. A good reloading manual is the first item you should get.

[Ramjo]

Yeah that's what I have been told before.

[Ramjo]

Hey how about this setup?

Presses - Lee Load Master - Titan Reloading

[dlm37015]

i quit selling the lee loadmaster because they have too many problems. if you want a progressave get a hornady lock and load 1st choice or a dillon 550. if you are not already a reloader i think one should start with a single stag press but that is just my opinion.if you can come by the rk show in knoxville this weekend i can show you the pros and cons of them david

Well sir, the only time I have to sit down and do each individual operation to every case individually is currently one day a week. I have watched Hickok45s progressive press reloading videos, and it doesn't look that bad as long as you pay attention to what you are doing and have the correct tools and supplies.

He uses the Dillon press, and I have looked at them, however they are somewhat out of my pricing range. :/

[dlm37015]

i would get a hornady lock and load ap over a 550 dillon i have both and the hornady is easyer to use made very well and cost less if you budget will allow it a 650 or a 1050 is better just take longer to change primer sizes out.i am in this buisness every day though and still think most people should start out with a single stage set up.imo if you dont have time to load on a single stage you dont have time to load safely on a progressive jost my opinion if i can help let me know david
