Considering investing in reloading equipment, need advice!

[nflesher87]

Hey everyone,

So at this point I only have three firearms: a 20 ga. shotgun, 25-06 rifle, and 9mm pistol. However I love shooting and as I'm sure everyone else does, I hate the expense of ammo.
Does anyone have any suggestions on an affordable option for reloading? Ideally I'd like to be able to reload all three types of ammo but I'm not even sure kits are made that are capable of that.
Thanks for any input!

you can get one press to do rifle and pistol rounds but for the shotgun you will need a seperate press

there are several types of presses.....single-stage, progressive, etc. etc.

you have to decide if you want to make bullets quick or do them in a long process. I still use a single-stage press, but that'll be changing over the next few months.


I'd recommend first buying some reloading manuals and reading this:

Be-friend a reloader at the range or a gun shop to watch them reload. Its a hobby unto itself. Reloading 9mm & 20g not time effective. 25/06 maybe depending on how much you shoot. You own 3 guns -probably not enough. Shouldn't you be spending money stock piling Obama guns?

I recommend you start out with a single stage or a turret press. It will help you to get a feel for it as well as help you to get to know what you need to be looking for thru the entire proccess. When you get comfortable with that then move into a progressive press for your mass production. Good luck.

One thing nobody mentioned is that You will not save any money. You will spend it on more equipment or supplies. Start with a manual of your choice and read it
