No idea why my phone keeps double posting. Sorry guys. One of the threads can be deleted.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Thanks. I was lucky to get one I guess. Reloading stuff is pretty hard to get now like everything else. Price have increaced too. I believe I got this at normal pricing though. I can't wait to start ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

I have an old version of that press. They are built very solid.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Good luck with the reloading, it can be a lot of fun customizing a round for your particular needs. Reloading supplies are still difficult to come by, particularly primers for me. I have noticed that powders and bullets are showing up in inventories, hopefully this buying frenzy may have hit a peak and might get back to something approaching normal in a couple of months.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Thanks guys. I was able to get the full kit so I'm happy about that. Not having to get stuff separately. I can get better stuff as a I discover what needs improvement. I guess its good I'm starting now with the prices higher. That way I don't know what I missed. And if it ever goes down then it will be a treat haha. ![smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
I'm sure I will. I've heard good stuff about it and like how affordable it is. I'm not really looking to load boatloads of ammo each week. Just something to tinker with, have fun, and maybe shoot a little more frequently.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
I also have a Lee Press and Lee dies...they are very well made and I've had zero problems with mine. Lee is also very quick to answer any questions you may have.

That kit looks pretty good. Get a powder trickler, and some case lube, and you will be good to go.

Read the Lee load book, it's full of tips and simple instructions on how to use the equipment.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
I'll have to get a copy of it. I've been looking at different reloading manual's.

Lee also has some excellent "how-to" videos on their website---good stuff that helps explain the written instructions and particularly helpful when setting up the dies.
Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Both the Sierra and Lee loading manuals have nice sections on 7.62x54R. Lyman is also a highly recommended handloading reference book.ponycarman wrote:I'll have to get a copy of it. I've been looking at different reloading manual's.
