Since ammo shortages are probably the new normal, I've decided to start loading my own.
I will primarily be loading .38 special, and to a lesser extant, .32 S&W short/long.
I have ordered the Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Kit.
The kit includes the following:
Since I am loading revolver rounds, will they need to be crimped? Is there a special tool or die for this?
Also, if anyone can recommend a particular powder for this application, I would certainly appreciate it. I intend to primarily load LRN bullets, at relativity low velocity (650-800 fps).
Thank you.
