Thread: Reloading set up

ok I have a simple o lee press..eg the frame of press is a big square with the dies in the centre of top and the ram comes up from the bottom. simple strong and nearly fool proof.
you do 1 thing at a time
1st you lube cases...personally I use vasoline from my fingers and then dip necks in container of graphite powder n steel shot.
then into loading block till the whole batch done. then resize them all,back into block primers up. then clean primer pockets and trim to size using cordless drill and lee attachments,if case looks dirty/dull it gets a polypad spin too while in drill,case mouth gets champher with deburring tool. out of drill into block
all get primed..lee hand primer. back into block neck up
all get powder put in....I weigh with lee beam scales and lee spoons...the spoons get me close then a wee bit more off side of plastic spoon (air NZ or kfc)
visually check powder levels all should be pretty darn close...if one looks suspect,tip it out and redo it.
then each case gets a projectile seated.... then a quick rub on jeans leg and good to go.

Ive got 4 loading manuals and cross reference a load with as many places as I can..the net is good.
you have been given a PLURRY AWESOME offer to go do some with another chap...take it and learn...beer is a good form of thanks.
while you are loading with someone else you will pick up heaps of wee tricks/tips and will soon decide if its for you or not...dont try for a hot load....an accurate load that is a bit slower is the biz every day of the week.

oh and one final thing.....the ONLY dumb question with reloading is the one you SHOULDVE asked but didnt. all of us have been there before and sometimes a wise word has kept our fingers n toes intact.
