NEED HELP ON HANDLOADING
Any info. on handloading will be great. I want to start making my own loads but don't know much about it like what kind of machine to buy ect. I have a few rifles, shotguns, and handguns and it's just getting too expensive to buy factory loads.

Sako LouI don't know what you know, at this point but it would'nt hurt to start at the basics, there was am excellent article in the July 2001 issue of "American Rifleman", an overview informative on basic loading of handgun and rifle ammo. You can order copy from NRA Publications, 1120 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, Va 22030-9400. The magazines is free to NRA members, and from most reports it's well liked, both with factual and stimulating articles, I've enjoyed mine tremendously.Hope this helps a place to start by just reading, which won't cost you much, and then when you've got enough info you can move on.Hope this will help. 0 -
You will want to have two or three loadings manuals on hand once you get started. Most of them like Hornady, Speer, Nosler, etc. have an introductory section on the basics. 0 -
In addition to a few good books, you need to decide how much reloading you will do. A single stage press such as the Lee Anniversary is fine for a few hundred rounds a week, but if your time is short or you shoot more you'll need a turret press. Above all be safe.
So many guns to buy. So little money.0 -
Heck there's even video's on it. Try to go to midway.com and check them out.

If you haven't reloaded before, what is best is to see someone else do it. Barring that, use a good manual. I learned from Lee's Modern Reloading. If you are just starting, I recommend a single stage O frame press; go with Lee's Anniversery kit as the value (and I am of the opinion, quality as well) cannot be beat. This kit plus dies for the calibers you want to reload is all the hardware you'll need... though you will of course, need powder, primers, brass, and bullets- or bullet moulds if you cast your own. For shotshell reloading, Lee also makes a press, called the Load All II. Don't buy from their factory as they overcharge; go to www.midwayusa.com. The anniversery kit will run you about $90, dies and components extra. The load all will run about $40.Jon
