Getting into reloading

[SCORPIO]

Sounds like a nice setup. I use a Dillon XL 650 and these progressive presses are great, high quality ammo and high volume speed. Lots of fun too.
Somebody want to explain the digs about someones mistakes I keep seeing?
Did somebody make something go BOOM?

Good Job Ed, now you need to Learn how to hoard bullets, and brass. Yes, sometimes it can be expensive. But it will let you work up your own load for your guns. Remember these words, Read The Instruction Manual, Measure everything until you get it down pretty good. Then just measure every couple rounds.

Thanks , I have over 1,500 pieces of brass and 200-300 115 gr round nose bullets thanks to my COTEP brothers. 300 primers.

Lacking in the powder but will get some soon, I'm going with a 148gr molly bullet for competition and can get for $88 per 1k.

Not getting onto a rush will take my time and make sure everything is right, so some of you experts may get a few PM's from me.

and yes if i mess up i will post it here if my brudder can handle the ing then so can I.

Check out bayou bullets. You may be able to get some 147grn moly bulleys at a better price... they are right in my neck of the woods and make a lot of shooters happy.. congrats on the loading setup!

Good choices Ed. Take a look at my setup for the same machine. I have several posts in the reloading section. I use the turret for batch production. Explanations are in the posts and pictures. ANY questions about what I do.... please send a PM and I'll walk you through my process. You will develop yours as you go along.

Horading bullets and brass? I'm told I'm a Master at that. I can even give you indoor range tricks for ranges that don't really like you to scrounge. Think the large Midway Range bag with the removal insert bag..... Pull the insert, dump brass, put insert back in.... almost like being "Bond.... James Bond."..... lol
