Howdy all, I'm new here and new to reloading. I have a 1873 sharps 45/70, a 10mm, and a .357 mag and all of those are expensive rounds, so I want to learn how to roll my own.
First off, any general advice on equipment? I am a broke college student so I'll probably go with Lee brand but is there anywhere to buy used/cheap so I have $ left over for bullets?
Secondly, bullets! Cast I am assuming will work for all of these rounds, so who has the best value and what weight should I be looking at?
Next, you guessed it, powder. Is there a powder that I can buy in bulk (again, save some money) that will do all three calibers sufficiently, or do I need to buy a few different kinds and experiment?
And finally brass, wheres the cheapest once fired out there?
Thanks so much in advance!
