So the work area is complete in the man cave. Benches are in and assembled. Cabinets for storing bullets, brass, powder, primers are in and assembled. Settled on Hornady as my initial equipment maker.
I'm new to reloading and about to start picking up dies sets for the calibers I own. I am going to start out with Hornady equipment. I will try to be as detailed as I can but if I miss an important piece of information please let me know.
What I want to know is what types of dies will I need for each caliber? Starting off I'm just looking to make plinking ammo, nothign special. But as I become more skilled at it longer range precision ammo (for the proper calibers) is what I'm interested in.
I'll be starting out with the Lock n Load press in teh following calibers: .22-250, .223/5.56, .257 Roberts, .308/7.62x51, .30 Carbine, and 7.62x39mm. What dies will I need initially for each caliber and what dies will I eventually need for each?
Also eventually once I am more skilled and comfortable I'd like to start with my pistol calibers as well. I have 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45ACP. Same question what dies initially and what dies eventually?
Thank you very much for your time and effort in educating me. I greatly appreciate it. I look forward to very soon joining the Handloading/Reloading ranks.
P.S. I'll try and keep the new guy questions to a minimum.
