Just ordered my first round of reloading tools/equipment. Been wanting to start for a while and just kept putting it off. Will start first with .40 s&w for my M&P. Will also add 9mm and .45 acp when I find the dies in stock. Have been saving brass for a while so I'm good on that.
Also plan on loading other pistol and rifle calibers eventually. Here is what I ordered from Midway:
Lee hand press kit
Lee breech lock quick change bushings
.40 Lee deluxe carbide die set
Lyman turbo 1200 tumbler
rcbs 505 scale
lyman impact bullet puller
Lee powder dipper set
Lee primer pocket cleaner
500 ranier plated 165 grn. FP bullets
Lee loading handbook
hope to find some CCI or Winchester primers soon
haven't decided on powder. Thinking Hodg HS-6 or Universal or Win Autocomp or 231.
Any recommendations for an old "new" guy.
Starting this to save money on plinking/informal club match ammo, but maybe get more competitive in the future.
Also plan on getting the classic turret press, but will be moving a few states over later this year and figure I'll get started slowly now, and worry about speed/volume later.
