Thinking of reloading,

I do all my sh it on an Excel file as I had used it lots before I retired.
It really works for me, notebooks get lost, well mine always did.
Plus you can add whatever you like as per cases make used, how many times fired, powder grain loads, which powder etc the list is endless, anal me.

Thats all good until your drive fluffs up LOL
Either works but the important thing is being able to reference.
 
no cars in it no, and when i say heated i actually mean iv got a big diesel space heater that i put on when im in there doing stuff and it cold,
Your garage may not be an ideal place to reload and store your new equipment as you have described it.
Cold is not ideal, a space heater produces wet heat, and you will have a flame source. Dampness kills any tools over time, I'd be inclined to store your new reloading gear indoors and take it into the garage as and when... same with powders & primers.

Enjoy the journey though, it's a great branch of our hobby.

id thought of that mate, i was at lest going to keep the primers and powder indoors, i may even commandeer one of the spare bedrooms and just do it all in there 👍

all that is beyond me I'm afraid, I'm strictly a pen and paper man, i see word and excel stuff like that as womens work:lol:
 
been shopping today, my local powder wise only had alliant reloader 10X in so got a 1lb tub of that, 100 55g V=max bullets, and 100 sierra gamekings, and 200 cci primers, he had loads in stock:)
he had a lee ultimate die set the other day when i rang but i forgot to ask him to save it for me, and hed sold it, so off to the next shop as they had a set in, they also had plenty of powder,bullets and primers. but there expensive so just got the die set, digital callipers came yesterday, lee manual came today, rest of my set up will be here tomorrow, so technically ill be all good to go tomorrow afternoon, but whooooo hold your horses there cowboy, I'm not ready to start just yet, still plenty of homework yet to do, but i recon i could get going tomorrow but id rather wait,
 
i need a wet tumbler but im struggling to want to pay over £200 for a spinning drinks bottle with a airfix motor on it, but i cant see a way round it:banghead:

If you must have one , Amazon- rock tumbler/polisher and buy the pins separately from wherever .

Then when you realise that shiny brass doesn't make your ammunition more accurate , you'll have saved enough money to buy an ultrasonic 😉
 
Consider using dry sizing wax by imperial. It’s cleaner than case lube and if you tumble your brass after resizing it also cleans off the wax! A tin lasts for years. Get a powder funnel or three as well

what does the ultrasonic do that the tumbler doesn't, its not so much shiny brass but i thought it easier to see any faults in the brass if its clean
