    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    Well, all I need now is a powder scale, tumbler, and an annealer setup. I'm working on the tumbler now. I pulled some steel out of my pile for the frame, and am going out tomorrow to find some PVC. I went to Lowes today, and while they had a 2' piece of 6" sewer pipe...they had NO caps or...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    I've got more than enough OCD to go around....and time is no problem (I work nights, single, no kids...damn...now I'm getting depressed! At least I'll have something to take my mind off it now! Haha)

    Varget ?

    It would be nice if you could give locations as to where all this powder is... Nothing but H380 and 50BMG here. I got lucky 2 weeks ago and was at Sportsmans the day a shipment showed up. Choices were still limited...but I grabbed a couple pounds of IMR4895 to try. My shooting buddy needs...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    Yes, I have trays -ordered them with the other stuff. I have calipers as well (I've got damn near any automotive tool you can think of). The book is on my need list..might get a couple different ones. I took pictures of the .308 pages of the books at a local store to get me going a few weeks...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    That's what I was planning on doing. Annealing every 2-3 cycles. Neck sizing only until FL sizing was needed. Anything to help lengthen brass life is fine with me... My friend stands them up in a pot of water to anneal them. I want to make an automated one for the both of us to use...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    I'll look into the comparators. I guess I forgot to mention, but I'm not shooting competitions or anything. Just plinking steel and paper out to 500yds max. A comparator might be overkill for me...but seem cheap enough to give it a try and see how it effects accuracy. And the...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    My reloading buddy used a beam scale his first couple years of reloading. Lets just say he had a few choice words for it. Not in the sense that it didn't work, but because of the time it took for each round...eyes going blurry looking at the line, waiting for it to settle, etc... I don't...

    Reloading equipment -- what else do I need?

    Well, it's begun. The other night I ordered a few of the main ingredients to reload... Redding T-7 LE Wilson case trimmer (308 case holder for it) 4-pc Lee dies Deburring tool Powder trickler and funnel I already have powder, primers, and bullets Next on my list would be: Digital powder...

    Annealing brass

    What kind of electric motor did you use? Is the speed adjustable? I have everything else to make one...looks like a fun project!

    What steel plate sizes to get -or- help me set up my practice range

    Shhhh...! It's not my garage! It's my buddy's place. He's got the reloading stuff and his dad is the one getting the steel for us, so I brought my welder over there so we can do it all in one place.

    What steel plate sizes to get -or- help me set up my practice range

    Wow! $500 for something I made for free! So mine doesn't have a "trap door"...give me 5 minutes with my plasma and welder and it will Just some inspiration for some of the more creative shooters out there:

    What steel plate sizes to get -or- help me set up my practice range

    I won't get into the size of the targets...but I can at least try to save you some money. Use mild steel. My friend and I make targets in our spare time. One target we made uses 5/8" thick steel hanging from chain. .308, 7.62x39, and 5.56 (LAP green tip) leave a slight crater (LAP a...

    Spoke with federal today at NRA about Federal small and large rifle match grade primers.

    So would it be safe to say that FGMM probably uses some type of Alliant powder in them? (For those who are trying to replicate FGMM loads)
