Thread: Reloading Setup's

everyone seems to have very tidy reloading areas, mine is an absolute mess. haha
it is an organized mess tho.

One big mess!! and yes i did reload with it in that state haha.
just pushed a bit enuf area to work with.



this thread motivated me to clean it up a bit.

New to the reloading game, but completly hooked! Currently loading for my .223 and 7mmMag and my brothers 270win, all T3's. Just finished setting up my bench last weekend.

There certainly appears to be a real mix of setups. All look productive.

Here's mine, only been reloading for a few years after buying a 270WSM - Factory ammo is way to expensive:

Anyone here not start with a Lee kit of some sort?

Nope

I started with a Lee Classic Loader in .243

I still use my first Lee press too.

Bought them both in 1980 and they're still going strong.

Cheers

Yep, never owned any Lee gear. I have mostly Redding gear with a small amuont of RCBS.

Hehe, Lee is good enough IMHO, (ducks flame wars)

Seriously, Lee is good enough to start with IMHO. Some of the best and most informed shooters Ive met use Lee. Now if you want to get loading volume like 100s a week, OK...but 100 a month?

The $199 Lee 50th kit is a good start to get a return on your investment with. Bear in mind by the time you get the other bits you need you will probably spend $600~700 ish...things like dies etc and cleaners all add to that $199.

Most of you are tidy buggers.Mines a bit of a mess but I can usually find things

This is what swayed me to pick up the Lee kit. I'm not gonna be loading hundreds of rounds a week so it'll do everything I need it to do.

Will get some pics up once I've got everything set up.

Just a quick question . I never got into reloading mores the pity but ive braught and sold or given away some mint gear . Now that ive got a custom chambering its the inly sencible option what i want to know about the lee kit is will it load my rounds to the same spec they are now if i do my bit. The load is spectacularly accurate 1/4 moa if im shooting well and want to be able to repeat this for long range. Or should i go with the likes of hornady or lyman for a press off the bat?

Lee kit would be fine. Just find out the load data from who ever did your loading and also whether they neck sized only and crimped at all. As long powder weight and seating depth is the same you shouldnt notice any diff.

Yea, they are great little kits. Wasn't sure if it was something I would continue on with or not, so a good way to get started without outlaying too much coin. Replaced the scales asap, didn't like waiting 5+ secs each time for them to stop moving...what magnetic dampening?
