Re: Reloading Equipment/Procedure Basics For Beginners - Read This First!
I have been reloading 9mm for a few weeks and will start loading .45 ACP hopefully this weekend. As I was shopping for dies and other things I noticed there is a set of dies available for Match Grade Ammo (.308)!?!
The main reason I got into reloading is so I can load ammo for my LR rifle. This being said, I have a few questions:
1) Do I really need to spend the extra $80.00 for the "Match Grade" .308 dies?
if so:
2) How much of a difference will I see with these dies vs regular .308 dies?
I haven't seen these in person only in the midway usa catalog.When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

Re: Reloading Equipment/Procedure Basics For Beginners - Read This First!
I just got into reloading and after much research and reading decided to go with the Lee Classic Turret press. It has the ability to act as a single stage press or as a progressive press. I got it in kit form from Kempf gunshop. The only thing that was not included was a scale. It comes with the Lee Powder disk charger. I have loaded 40s&w and it was very easy to setup and use.

Re: Reloading Equipment/Procedure Basics For Beginners - Read This First!
I just bought the Lee 50th Anniversary single stage press. I have it all set up and i'm looking forward to trying it out (still need powder, dies, and a tumbler - next paycheck). I'll be using it to load 30-06 and 9mm and anything else I get in the future.
One question though: I've read it here and elseware that certain powder measures work better with certain powders. My kit comes with the Perfect Powder Measure and I was wondering if anyone knows of specific powders that work well with it? Also, I saw on youtube someone recommended using a rubber band to secure a dryer sheet around the hopper to prevent static cling. Anyone else have input on that? Thanks.

Never reloaded before with a few questions
Well after much thought and research on the forums I belong to, I decided to purchase my first setup to initially reload 10mm fmj. If I catch the reloading bug, I will expand calibers and upgrade equipment in the future.
I bought the following items from various sources including, Midway USA, Ebay and Amazon:
Lyman 49th Edition Reloading Handbook
Lee Modern Reloading 2nd Edition Book
Lee 50th Anniversary kit 90050
4 xtra Lee quicklock bushings
Lee deluxe 4 die carbide set for .40 s&w and 10mm
Frankford Arsenal puller
Frankford Arsenal perfect fit reloading trays
I know I have quite a bit of equipment yet to buy including a tumbler, digital micrometer, better scale, hand primer setup, dillion case gage, ammo boxes, labels, powder, primers, projectiles but have a few questions.
I don't even plan on unpacking everything until I read both books cover to cover.
Here are my questions:
1. Any other suggested books or other media sources?
2. Is there a local Reloading supplier in the general area of Philadelphia?
3. Anyone know of any classes for the novice reloader?
4. Any experienced reloaders out there willing to meet and guide me through the setup and first run with my single stage press?G20 & G29 Member NRA; Life Member North American Fishing Club

Kings Shooter Supply in King of Prussia has just about everything you need. Powder, Primers, Brass, etc. They have a large selection of cast bullets also. I'm not sure what they stock in jacketed bullets but those are easy enough to get online. Nice people and very helpful, they're more than happy to answer any questions you might have also.

Re: Reloading Equipment/Procedure Basics For Beginners - Read This First!
Count me in as a new reloader as well. I just ordered a Hornady Classic kit from Cabelas. I got free shipping and used over 30 bucks in points so I saved $50. I need to buy shell holders, dies and components. At this point I believe I will start out with .223. I have a lot of firearms that shoot .223 and it doesn't beat you up while you shoot a lot to get it all figured out.
One questions, how much are you guys averaging per box of 50/100/1000 rounds? I'm curious about 9mm, .40, .45 ACP, .223/5.56, .243, .270, 308, 30-06, and 300 win mag. I'm not planning to load all of those, that's just what I shoot a lot of so I will know what I currently spend in comparison."The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

Re: Reloading Equipment/Procedure Basics For Beginners - Read This First!
My Hornady kit was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. I have it bolted to the table, all ready to go. I ordered dies for .223/5.56, 9mm and .308 to start but they are not here yet. I also picked up a universal shell holder kit since I'm sure I'll expand to other rounds. Since I have no dies, I did go ahead and practice putting Federal 205, small rifle primers in 100 rds of Winchester .223 brass. It went much better than I expected.
I may see if my neighbor has some .223 dies so I can load a few. For now I'm going to make sure my powder setup is set right and see if it will drop a consistent amount.
I wish I had picked a kit up sooner but I'll admit that I was a bit intimidated by the idea."The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
