Reloading 357 Part II
First off, thanks to all of you replied to part I! Some really valuable info and advice and I appreciate it.
I have a Lee Loader that came with my Model 70 in 270 that I bought 25 years ago (mfg 1952). It has never been used. I got it out and read all through the instructions for reloading the 270 cartridge. I familiarized myself with all the parts.
While looking through Cabela's catalog I saw that Lee made the same reloader for the 357/38. Can I get one of these to start from a truly scratch beginning until I decide if I want to go at it with much more production.
If I can go with this reloader will this bare bones approach be sufficient to reload a few boxes a month and how long will it take to load 50 this way. And, if I go this way is there any other piece of equipment that is absolutely essential to the process from a needs and SAFETY standpoint? I will definately get a reloading book. Thanks again.

Buy your reloading stuff from Midway, you get a better deal then Cabelas.
Although I have in the distant past used Lee loaders, they are a ungodly hassle to load ammo with. It would be better for you to go with this Lee kit from Midway. All you would need is dies, powder and primers.

And, don't forget carbide dies for the 38/357.
Good investment, you'll never be sorry.0
