Reloading questions?????

Postby Mudbug » Mon Jul 09, 2001 8:56 pm

I am wanting to get into reloading my own shells. Primarily I am concerned with light lead loads but may want to do some steel at some point but not right now. What is the best reloader to start with and the most economical? What are some things that I need to take into consideration and/or be concerned about. I reloaded years ago with one of those cheap Wal-Mart jobs that had it all. There was no way to screw up but the thing wasn't worth crap because with that and the hulls that I used I could never get a good crimp or proper size. Therefore I lost interest quickly. How about sharing some of all that knowledge on here!!!! BTW, see yall at the cookout.

I have a 12ga. mec sizemaster. The key is to reload good hulls. All I use are the Winchester Double A hulls....you can buy a box of shells at Wal-Mart for $4.97. You can load these buggers about 10 times if you don't put too deep of a crimp in them.

I haven't reloaded much in the past couple of years. I hope there are some pros here that can help you out more than I can.

Hey Mudbug,
Waterfowler.com has a board dedictaed to reloading. Old Ned S is full of good info, and soem other stuff too. Hop over there and check it out. They are getting ready to change formats in the next day or so and it might get a bit screwy for a few days but give it a try.
