Thread: Buyers guide for reloading, Newbie Loader

I got the Hornady e-book for $23US off Amazon for Kindle.
NO, I don't have a kindle (except to put on the fire) but the app is free and I get the same info on laptop, phone etc..

Already had the book from last summer but that was the 9th, printed in 2012.
The ebook is the latest with 6.5CM anyway plus the Grendel and whatever else I don't know of....
A bugger to read (ebook) but a cheap way of getting the latest.

Also just bought into Lee but finding it irksome regarding xtra bits; poor supply chain and support so gotta wait for items to arrive from over seas.
I'd say it is fine to use but the RCBS etc does feel more robust!

Have a look here for some manuals etc

ADI has pretty good downloadable load data as well

@Reindeer I'm in the process of upgrading my digital scales so you can have my Hornady Electronic Scale GS-1500 for $20.00 if you like.

Looking for a set with a bit more exactness for throwing warm loads so going the Lyman way. These are good to 0.2 of a grain currently and you can zero or tare for use with a trickler - Just reset, and re measure to make sure its picked up the trickle bang on...

@Reindeer has that lyman manual turned up yet ?

a set of LEE spoons will cost about $30 and will throw your powder to within a smidgin of what you ask for so piece of cake to select spoon smaller chuck that in pan then trickle a wee amount on top with teaspoon........hold teaspoon full of powder like a pencil over pan and tap thumb knuckle with other hand....so simple its not funny.
old nosler manuals are great for the "how to"
lee case trimmers idiot proof. cordless drill makes case prep a breeze.

A decent trickler is a damn sight easier! Redding ones are good.
