New reloader
I am new to reloading and recently read something that said a person should not reload when it is raining outside due to the humidity difference. My place where i relaod is in the house where temperature is pretty much constant so should i worry if its raining outside or not?

So for Christmas I received the Rock Chucker Supreme kit and cannnot wait to get reloading! However, before I press round one I am going to become good friends w the reloaders manual (Speer manual).I understand the process and know it is a matter of taking your time and being consistent to work up a load for a gun.
In the meantime I would like to get my brass cleaned up so when I am ready I have that part ready to roll.
My question on cleaning with a vibratory tumbler is what media to use and how long on a batch do you let it go? I have ordered a Cabelas branded tumbler that is on the way as I type!
Thanks in advance to the great people of GB!0 -
RCBS Rockchucker! 0 -
RCBS Rockchucker is great.
I've had mine since the 70's.
I figured I'd like another press
to cut down on the die changes and
I bought a Lee classic press.
Well, The Lee has an adjustable
handle for length as well as mounting
the handle on either side.
Also it has a nice tube that catches
the spent primers.
If I had to do it again.I'd buy
2 lee classic presses.Very strong
and some great features

Buy good used gear. Put the saved money towards supplies. Shoot more. 0 -
Thanks everyone for the advice. Im in the process of building a new shop and have big plans for getting back into the reloading scene. [:D] 0 -
I went with a basic Lee single stage kit, came with almost everything for getting started. Got it for around $100, then added a $45 Lee Carbide 4 Die set. I've added several other things over time like a digital scale, which really helped get down to better grain measurements for me.
Either way, have fun. [:D]
The guys here on this board were a HUUUUGE help, so never be afraid to ask. [:p]0 -
Having both the Lee Classic Cast and the RCBS Rockchucker on the bench, I prefer the Lee for 3 reasons.
1. 3 point attachment; the RCBS has 2 points for attachment in line, putting stress on the bench at that point.
2. Easily adjusted handle for length and side.
3. Spent primer removal tube.
In terms of the quality of the press itself, they're about the same.
One more point for the lee- half the price of the RCBS.0 -
The Rockchucker is good for rifle resizing but think also in terms of a multiple stage press for pistol. Single stage presses are too slow unless you have a row of them.
Having a Lee powder measure in one hole of a turret press speeds things up.0 -
I have the Lee Classic Turret, great for a beginner. Speeds things up, easy to set up, great for multiple calibers (easy to change out turrets) and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
LOVE my setup!0 -
