This is what happens when I get bored...

I went and shot the poo with Jim on monday. Seeing how easy reloading can be got me started...

I went off and bought a tumbler on the way home.

Went up to scope out Harris park for this weekend and picked up a ton of brass.

I don't have a press, so I deprimed all of it by hand... Yeah. Not fun.

The 223 from the bucket is in the tumbler now. There's a bunch of 9mm and some 45 done too. There are 41 30-06s there.

Enjoy the pictures.

Damn JM. That's a lot of work right there. Check for used presses on CL and here. Just for starters. Lee is the cheapest way to go, but Lee is reliable. I say start cheap to see if you like it.

BTW if you start reloading now, the components are getting pricey and harder to find. Just an FYI.

Oh I'm gonna like it. I have no choice.

I started with an RCBS Rock Chucker single stage press. Still have it and use it often.

Who wants to buy this 30-06 brass?

Same thing happened to me!

Went and bought a tumbler and now trying to find time to head over to Jim's to start processing and reloading about 5k rounds!

Looking forward to it!!

Wow! I did about the same thing. I tumbled 3000 9mm cases. Now I need to build a small, easily moveable table to mount my press on. Then I need to come up with the funds to buy bullets, primers and powder.

It's fun and very addicting. At 1st I was deathly afraid of it. Didn't want to blow my pretty face off. But stick to the basics!! Powder loads, mind your depths aka C.O.L. , crimp when needed and never ever exceed maximum load data or pressure. But MOST of all, have fun and be safe!!!!!

Look on Craigslist. I found an oak end table/cabinet thing that was small but perfect for a starter like me. I built a backboard area for plastic bins and away I went.
