So far I have brass, projectiles, a little bit of powder a three die set and about half a clue of how it works.

Get in the queue

Plus of course, if I want to stretch the legs on a load, I have to drive all the way to Cable bay range.
It takes 6 minutes from home

It would take half that time if you left it in neutral.

Pengy, you better not get me involved in your little re loading hobby. My 308 shoots just fine without going to the dark side as well ....just dont start showing me .3 groups then i be fine

Just something else to look forward to during your new career.

The ones on the Toby Memorial did a side step.

I think you could float a target out to sea.
If not I have one as well.

I know 19% of stuff all about it so far, but will learn as I go.
Not wanting to spend up to big to start with, so thinking of going with one of the Lee kits available. Thing is, I already have dies for 308 and 300 win mag, so not sure if these will work with Lee kit. Are the threads universal on the various makes??

Are these kits a good starting point? Trying to keep spending under control in case it turns out to be not my cup of char.

That's what I did with the intention of upgrading the Lee gear years later I'm still reloading using my Lee gear as I don't think a dearer press is going to make that much difference to my ammo

I think it was more of a zig zag.

Well don't go looking at castboolits.com, that'll be the end of everything hahaha
