I'm new to reloading, bought the press and tools about a month before pandemic hit. This meant, I never got components as things when off the shelves quick. I hope to start with reloading for .357 mag. (I have dies and cleaned brass for .357mag, .38sp, .45lc, 30-06, .303brit).
Since finding components has been hit or miss and I haven't done this before, I haven't tested or settled on a recipe. What would you suggest I start buying first? Primers, Powder, Projectiles?
If you had to build a recipe given today's hit or miss components where would you start? I don't want to waste a lot of money, so I'm trying to find the safest way to test out recipes without blowing the bank or getting a lot of stuff I won't eventually use.
(Thanks for you patience with my naivete and cheapness. And yes, I've read the ABCs of Reloading and have reload data manual.)
