As I've said before in this section, I'm a new 7/08 user and the guy who sold me the rifle very kindly chucked in a set of Lee dies and some brass- so I've found myself a second hand Lee classic 4 hole press. So now I need- a book. A way of putting powder in. Some primers powder and bullets. Some case lube. My father still has my grandfathers reloading gear so I can loan the beam scale to check measures and I should be away. I'm posting all this to keep you kind people updated as its partly due to the wealth of support and (not always agreeing) info that you've all given me so far which has helped me in this direction.
So now, who's going to be the first to pitch in? Which book, powder, primers etc??
Please bear in mind that I'm not rich and want this to be a money saving operation. So I don't neccessarily want the best hottest etc , just loads I can use for the shooting I do- ie 140 grain expanding ammunition. Don't know anything about why boat tails round nose bts or whatever. I just use soft point when I buy it from the shops and it works fine!
Thanks in advance
Tom
