Considering starting reloading

[25 Sharps]

I bought a load of kit of a gentleman who was retiring from shooting. For £100 I got a whole reloading kit, plus a set of 243 dies and 1,000 odd primers. I am not sure reloading is any cheaper - you just end up shooting more. But at least once you have found a load you like, buy a couple or three boxes of bullets and a good tub of powder and then be happy for the next good while. And once those bullets are in your cupboard and you rediscover them a few years later - they are of course fully depreciated so its effectively free shooting.

I am down to my last 200 primers and dread to think what thy are now. The box I have is marked £20 per 1,000.

10x that if CCI bench rest !

Buying the best doesn't always mean spending the most, and my experience has been that budget oriented Lee are frequently better than more expensive analogues from RCBS, Lyman (especially Lyman), Hornady, etc.

I will also stick to my earlier point that every company has at least one product that is either unique to them, or that they just make better than anyone else.

Except maybe Lyman. Every Lyman product I have bought has disappointed me and I am not aware of anything that they do that somebody else doesn't do better....

I'm really pleased with all the Lee kit I have. Especially the Classic Cast press.

Here you go, plenty of us use these! -

I have many of these. Excellent way to start reloading. I have regaled the masses with stories of accuracy so I won't bother, but for the OP? Go buy one. Follow the instructions. You can be shooting reloads tomorrow. ~Muir
