Reloading
 

I am looking at setting up my own reloading ...for 45 win and 300 Weatherby



Does anyone have any recommendations on equipment?

I am looking for a simple yet very reliable system
and the equipment has to be extremely well made.

I am so sick of chinese made crap that has to be replaced .....

Buy once ,buy quality without getting ripped off on "brand" names is one of my little mottos


Thanks

TJ

Single-stage presses for me...I went RCBS Rock Chucker 30 years ago...never worked with anything I thought was better. Some swear by Lee reloading dies. Some folks like the Dillon equipment, but I ain't much into progressive reloaders...

Re: Reloading
 

Thanks Silver city....

Rock chucker ..is that one at a time? i dont mind .....

for re-necking and weighing powder etc is that also the same brand

I have only ever reloaded 12 gauge so this is new for me

I just want to buy once and get it right...i get so sick of buying something and it breaks ...chinese made crap..its all a bloody racket

Have to get myself a good scope next as well


Thanks

RCBS makes about everything you will need...

I do recommend a digital scale if you plan on doing a lot of reloading and carbide dies for straight-walled cases...

Here is RCBS website:http://shop.rcbs.com/WebConnect/Main...eId=webconnect

Hey TJ: got any tips on the 12 ga gear? I am thinking about picking up a reloader for 00 buck and slugs. MEC seems to be the way to go.
Good luck to you.

I have a rock chucker single stage press I use for pistol ammo.

Its not as fast as my friends dillion progressive but its as solid as a rock.

I load about 50 in 45 minuets or 100 in an hour---set up and powder/primeing takes time. But the running of an extra 50 is not a time hinderence. All the dies are set and off press duties done effeciently with 100.

My 12 gauge reloader is 25 yrs old ...had it since i was ten or so

from NZ....wish i could help you on that

shotguns are winchesters and browning (my dads who got it from an old sea captain) in coromandel 1898-first browning five shot ..kicks like a mule..

I love shot guns.....and duck and pheasant quail shooting and clay bird shooting with a beer between.I come from an old farming family

I have been looking at getting a "stage coach"side by side 12 gauge ,short barrell easy to swing ....

I like wooden stocks so alot of the new "synthetic" guns aren't for me ....

i know alot of guys go for massive rounds ..but in an "emergency" shot placement and a cool head are way more important than getting uncontrolled shots off.

Thanks TJ

Thanks
