You may want to stat out with one of the beginners kits made by some of the manufacturers. I bought a copy of the ABC's of reloading and Modern reloading by Richard Lee. Those two books will get you off to a good start.

You might want to ask the person who runs the range. The indoor range I occationally shoot at sell that brass and counts on it a a source of income, so it is a no no. I ask the others around me if they mind if I take thier brass and if they say no I take everything that hits the floor. Once it...

You shouldn’t have to double pump, but double pumping should be OK unless the powder thrower resets. But I would visually check the powder level in every case anyway. Unless you look at the powder in every case you don’t know for sure if you have a double charge or a squib. I am a little...

I have a loadmaster and found that Midway usually has good prices on the press and components. In addition you can return things if you dont like them. Since you already load I would reccomend that you start out just getting the press set up for one of the calibers that you want to load...

Darwin, Thanks for the safety reminder. We all can learn from this lesson. I am glad that you didn't hit anything bad, and wish you a speedy and full recovery. It took allot of guts to fess up to something like this. Now it is time to reax and heal. If there is anything I can do...

I use a pillow case.

The bullet feed works good for me. I was using it to load 240gr swc for 44 mag. I recently read a post from someone who loaded round nose bullets had a probem with all of the bullets comming out together. Maby the flat nose of the swc helped me. When I started reloading for multiple...

The powder dispenser does not free swing on mine so that is not an issue. I did have the rod for a short while then went back to the chain because i figured tht it was the fusable link in the system. Recently I had the chain loosten up by one bead si i am thinking about going back to the rod...

How do you fit your open/closed end wrench between the die nuts? None of mine would fit. Thanks, Chris

I was going to get one of those but I read some complaints about the swiveling handle. I had a couple of impact sockets laying around so I made a set of wrenches. It may be cheaper to get one of the RCBS wrenches, and if the handle is as bad as I have heard you could silver solder or weld a...

I made it from whatever I had laying around. From what I remember the piece of plastic was cut down from a scrap piece of plastic and a thumb screw was fished out of my bolt and screw bin. The spring is the one that normal goes on the chain. If I really wanted it to look slick I would...

Youtube fame??? My head is swelling! Yes that is me. Chris

Great Dillon videos! I dont have a Dillon, But I do know how difficult and time consuming these videos are to make. Almost makes me want to get a 550 to try it out. Great job!!!! Chris

I also took the o-rings off of the lock nuts and turned them over. You can tighten the dies down with a wrench really good this way. I also made a die wrench by turning down a 1-1/8 impact socket so that it fit between the die nuts then silver soldered a handle onto it. This makes adjusting the...

I use STP oil treatment because it is thicker and seems to stay put longer than oil. I do use Mobil 1 in all of my vehicles but I don't use it on the press because it appears to be much thinner than STP oil treatment and I assume that you would have to re-apply it more frequently. I could be...

Congradulations on your new Loadmaster. Chris

I really enjoy casting my own. Nothing better than shiny new lead bullets. :)

There were several recent posts on a couple of boards where someone made a brass sorter out of two rollers. The video looked pretty slick. I will look for it and will post it here. It appears to be a commercial case sorter, here is the link. http://www.camdexloader.com/CaseSorter.aspx#...

Method #1. I never clean them either. They are deprimed in station #1 and reprimed in station #2 in as long as it takes me to move the handle up and down once. Chris

Darwin, The three turns up from shellplate contact for the seating die is the standard adjustmet to be used with the bullet feed. That worked well when I had the bullet feed so I continue to use it without. Chris
