Re: Thinking about getting into reloading

I have reloaded for the past 40 or so years ....
When you get into 380 reloading, much care is taken as the smokeless powder loads are rather small.
A first start suggestion would be a little dandy for powder charges as there are a number of different charge size rotors that throw different loads depending on powder used. The little dandy comes with only the powder measure and chart . Each rotor is purchased separately . I happen to be partial to Unique Powder.They pretty much cover charge levels for pistols of all calibers, using there rotors to exact a really accurate load for each case. I can charge 50 primed and ready cases in about 3 minutes or less.
The best part of reloading, finding a load your Rifle or Pistol likes. In the long run the reloading equipment pays for itself. Reloading also requires a understanding wife.
You have to have a bench, for mounting equipment, press, dies, case trimmer,caliper, trickle charger, funnel, Deburring tool, primer pocket cleaner, case cleaner tumbler, primers, powder, cases, Starliner Brass Company makes very good cases, and bullets.
Reloading Books, Hornady, Speer, Sierra, Barnes, Nosler, and Lyman.
Powders, I use, Hogden, Winchester, Alliant, IMR, Accurate,and Norma
There is a good start for you.
Remember you cant ever have enough ammo on hand .
