and bought some reloading equipment...
I've been on the edge for a very long time, just never could bring myself to do it. I recently had a family member pass away, and inherited a Super Redhawk in 480 ruger. I realized that finding ammo local was next to impossible so i took the leap.
A buddy at work had a Lee Anniversary kit NIB, speer 14th ed. reloading manual, and three reloading trays that he sold me for the rock bottom price of $60. A quick visit on midway this morning got me 44 mag and 480 ruger dies, brass (44 mag x 200, 480 ruger x 100), bullets, calipers and a digital scale. I purchased two pounds of Winchester 296 and 400 federal magnum large pistol primers yesterday from big r, also bought some ammo boxes .
I think i'll cut my teeth on the pistol calibers first, then move into the .223, .243 and 300 win mag. I'm pretty excited about getting started, hopefully the big brown truck will be here by mid week.
I was planning on getting the RCBS kit, but i couldn't pass on the lee for that price, i can always upgrade later if needed. Is there anything i'm forgetting? Hopefully i'll be shooting my first loads this weekend!
