OT, looking for a beginer's reloader kit

[Joe Bob]

Long shot....but does anyone have a reloader gathering dust?

Just a basic starter unit.....Something like a Lee Challenger or a Rock Chucker......needed to reload only a couple of calibers. .38, .32 revolver blanks for track starting. MIGHT do .40 caliber auto loads but I doubt it......

I think SNOWMAN does......


sorry...could not resist.

I forgot how much fun Snowman was.....

This was a classic thread....

The Dillon 650 performance evaluation

Get the rock chucker. I bought one used many years ago prior to my Dillon and sold it for more than I paid. Great piece of gear to learn the basic and safe way to reload.

I've got all Lee equipment. I was going to step-up to a turret press soon to speed up the reloading of some of the calibers I go through like water.

(I guess I'll have to not measure every single powder charge by hand anymore.)

I have 2 Lyman Spar-T turret presses that are great for beginners. I know because I'm a beginner and these 2 little presses operate without problems using Lee Precision dies. Get some good books, follow the instructions to the letter and pay close attention to details!

Joe never did end up with the press, did he?

I recently bought my first handgun but was raised on rifles. Grampa loaded everything. He considered the weight of the powder to be terribly important for the accuracy of the shoot. FWIW. Then again, I'm on your Ignore List so you won't see this. And besides, handgun accuracy is....largely unnecessary. Nevermind. More wasted keystrokes.

I reload pistol and rifle primarily to reduce cost and to give me more control over what I shoot. I like to target shoot and I don't need heavy loads or jacketed hollow points to kill paper targets. I'm trying to get good, consistent loads and that combined with good technique and regular practice, should help me to be a better marksman.

I used the Lee Handloader when I first started. We joked about it calling it the "thighmaster". It was an inexpensive way to try it.
