I'm not yet ready to take up the sacred quest of reloading, but I'm ready to start preparing for that battle. When we move after Xmas I'll have more room for a reloading bench. In the meantime I'd like to begin squirreling supplies away so that I'm ready to go with raw materials when needed. To that end I have a few questions.
Should I be saving all of my factory brass? I noticed that some brass factory loads are marked "non-reloadable". I'm currently using brass blazer rounds. Does anyone know if these are reloadable?
Where are good places to start collecting scrap lead? Should I really worry about casting my own lead? (see also below).
It's my impression from talking to others that copper jacketed ammo produces much less lead fouling. If I get into casting my own bullets what options do I have to jacket my hand casted rounds?
Is there anything else that I should start trying to pack away? That would make my little packrat heart sing with joy :)
