First off , let me say to anyone who responds to this, THANK YOU!!! I am new to reloading. NEVER reloaded a single bullet. and Everything that i am reading is like trying to read stuff in a foreign language!! Get some people saying its not rocket science and others have things down to a mathematical art. To be honest its kind of intimidating and getting overloaded. lol Kinda frying my brain! Sounds like you can spend $200 or $20,000 depending on what you want i guess
I just bought a hornady Lock N Load reloading kit off a gentleman of the internet at a steal . Brand new , nothing was even taken out of the box. said he bought it and lost interest. ( 1) What do i need to reload for my .243 .35 whelen and 450 bushmaster ( other than what i got in the kit) Most of my brass will be spent from Factory loads me and a buddy have already shot: ( if that makes a difference)
The kit comes with:Lock-N-Load Classic Single Stage Press, Lock-N-Load Powder Measure, Digital Scale, Handbook of Cartridge Reloading - 7th Edition, 3 Lock-N-Load Bushings, Primer Catcher, Positive Priming System (Small and Large Primer Cups Included, Handheld Priming Tool, Universal Reloading Block, Chamfering and Deburring Tool, Powder Funnel and Trickler, 5.5 oz can of One Shot Aerosol Case Lube
( 2) I am sure this is for the advanced reloader. But i have been reading that people can somehow resize a bullet from .458 bullet down to fit the 450 bushmaster? So what i am getting from reading is that not all 45 cal bullets will fit the bushmaster or work with it? I like heavier bullets and i am still very new to the 450 and the factory hornady loads are killing hogs for me , but they are blowing apart real bad so i would like to be able to step up to a heavier bullet for penetration etc and the .458 bullets seem to got a better selection to my personal needs.
Again thanks to any and all who respond to this. and please talk to me like you would a 3 year old kid lol
