So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

Thanks for this. You just saved me (and cost me) a lot of money

Thanks!

I just read this entire thread and damn I'm impressed!!! I was very intimidated by reloading, but have always wanted to get into it so I can always have ammo and save some money in the long run. I now have the confidence I needed to go ahead and get going on learning to reload.

Thanks Linkpimp!

I had a guy come over on Sunday and we spent 5 hours going from Decap and SS media tumble, all the way to finished ammo that he took with him.

Should have done this a year ago, but better late than never?

Is the Lee Classic Turret still a good choice for a first press for loading a good bit of rifle (.223/5.56) and pistol (.40cal)?

I see the kit from Kempf's is still there like in the original post and after reading this thread I think I'm going to go that route.

Thanks

If you can afford to upgrade get a 550. You can use it like a turret or a progressive. If you can not go up in price that far find yourself a redding t7. It is the best turret press around. Lee presses can do the job, but are often problematic requiring frequent tuning. In my time reloading the presses i have seen go down the most are lee presses.

You will get a lot of loaders that use lee who will swear by them and claim they have no flaws. There responses are generally emotinal and not factual. You can have a lee press that will run great or you get one that requires constant tinkering. Spend a little extra now and get something your children will be using.
