Adam Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone know anyone with a reloading set up who wouldn't mind me watching them work? Maybe even let me load a couple cartridges myself. I am ready to buy but I want to see the various manufacturers in action to see which one I like the best. Not looking to buy a progressive set up right off the go. Or if anyone knows anyone at a store who I can talk to about it in a little more depth than your sales person fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have a Lee Single Stage. They are inexpensive, and can get you reloading quickly. However, if you want a high volume of production, a single stage is NOT for you. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not to thread jack but verse and I have talked about doing this a few times. We already save our brass from going to the range. We have plans on both buying the equipment and paying half on everything. Then one day just reload. Would you be interested in this Adam? I have never reloaded though. Only seen stuff on youtube...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 BTW, anyone looking to get into it should pick up 'The ABC's of Reloading'.......and read it. I've reloaded on my dad's old single stage stuff, but its been stuffed away in storage for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1veryfastvr4 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 as austin stated but the abc's of reloading or i perfer the any lyman book, buy the newest cause it will have all the newest loads at the moment..... second thing is to read ..... read again start out wit the lee single stage that way if you dont like it then hey your not out much and if you do like it and want more quanity then move on up, personally my cousin and my self have been using our sigle stagers way to long but hey it keeps cost down( you have to figure that in to reloading cost) and its kinda relaxing to just go thro the motions and be more hands on...... have seen ppl with progressive stage presses load something wrong then have to go back and pull of the bullets...... not fun if you have any q's once you get started feel free to pm and ill help you out best my knowledge allows oh and take any loads someone posts on net with a grain of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03spydr Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have an RCBS Rockchucker and all the goodies to go with it that I would be willing to part with. Let me know if you're interested. The NRA can give you a list of certified reloading instructors in your area. Take the class. You'll be glad you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Flounder has a reload setup. He does .308 and .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I want to setup to do 9mm, .40, .45, and .223. I've been researching a lot of places and think I want to go with a progressive setup just so I'd be able to put out some rounds rather quickly.

If you've never reloaded, start with a single stage to get the feel for it. They're cheap anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I picked up the abc's of reloading a while ago and after reading that have read a few sites and read other people's reviews. I have looked at the manufacturers sites and figure I am going to go with a single stage (even though I know later on I will move up to a progressive, I will probably hang on to the single stage to work up accuracy loads instead of quantity stuff). I just want to see how they actually work. I am guessing that they are relatively the same, but just want to see for myself, and I can't really find any stores that have any set up for display except new albany had some dillions sitting in there, but they were progressives. Rob I am interested in your rockchucker, I will pm you. Trowa I live too far away to make that work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have a rock chucker I need to sell sometime soon, too. I would highly recommend calling Bill or Rick Hartfield at HE Guns and tell them I sent you. 740-788-9595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Greg drop me a pm and let me know what you have and for how much. Thanks for the names to call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Oh and Adam, if you have any questions about anything specific feel free to ask or send me a PM. RCBS rockchucker is a solid start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I am leaning towards a rockchucker or a lee turret press. I can't really think of anything specific to ask, all my questions are generic right now as I haven't seen a press in actual action, only online.

RyM3rC Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Oh, ok. I took down my reloading setup as I'm looking at moving in a few weeks, but if you haven't found anyone by the time I get it setup again you can come out and give it a shot. Sorry for the delay I'm trying to take advantage of the low interest rates right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
