Good Afternoon;
Thanks for all the info. I'll probably need to make a special trip to check out Bobcat Armament, but they definitely look like they are worth the trip. I'll probably hit up one of the closer places for some primers, just to get me by.
Thanks again,
D
Good evening;
Who's got a good selection of power and primers in the Indianapolis area. I've been too busy to reload for a while, and now I'm running low on a few things.
The south side is preferred, but I'll drive a little.
Thanks,

I just picked up a MEC Jr 12 gauge press, and I'd like to convert it to 16 gauge (since I also shoot that). I'd be happy to trade die sets if you need them. Looking in the $50 price range.
Thanks,

You can learn to reload on your own, but it is much easier to have someone take you through it the first time. You can start fairly cheaply, which is what I would do. Progressives are nice, and they reload very quickly for high volume shooters. I don't have one (nothing against them...
Good Evening;
I'm in the Outdoorsman about 1-2x a month, and they have a few things but not much. Usually just Encore barrels, and not a big selection. One of the guys told me that they were actually trying to get out of the Encore/Contender part of the business. Something about only...
In a nutshell, this is it for most of us. Now, if you are into some type of precision competition, then things are different. Bulls-eye competition autoloaders are incredibly accurate, but they are also very picky on ammunition. Hence the high price tag. The bulls-eye autoloader has been...
As others have said, it's what you shoot that determines how fast reloading equipment pays for itself. Since some of the things on my list are 22 Hornet, 45/70 and 357 Remington Maximum, I made my money back fairly quickly.

As for another question about where to get wheel weights or lead, stop by the shop that you take your car to and ask what they do with them. Mine sells them, and when I need some, I just let them know, and then go pick them up. Not free, but still better than paying full price.

That is black powder, the stuff that smells like rotten eggs when it is used in a muzzle loader (the rotten egg smell comes from the sulfur, the 3rd component in black powder). If you were to load that into a 223 for your AR, you would get about 2 rounds down range before the gun was so gunked...
I've been kicking around the idea of getting a Lee turret press for quite a while. This is because I want to be able to load at a little faster rate for things like 9mm, 45 acp, 357 mag, and other straight wall pistol calibers. The difference between a classic cast and a regular turret (4...
