Just Started Reloading...

What setup are you running?

 

I currently load for 37 different calibers, which is a logistics nightmare.

 

Current setup is

-Dillon XL650 for high quantity stuff. I'm currently looking into bullet feeders and full automation.

-RCBS RockChucker for precision, test loads, and low quantity stuff.

-Damn near everything imaginable for case prep and to facilitate ease of reloading.

 

None of which gets used as much as it should...I need more space. :(

 

My newest project is to work up some loads for my dad's .416Rigby and .300wm for his hunting trip to Africa next June. He bought some rowdy shit for me to load up.

Check out these bullets:

Mostly Hornady based setup. Dies and Press, etc.

 

Those bullets look awesome. I'm assuming they're non expanding, what brand/model are they?

 

Nope, they don't really expand. They're Woodleigh Hydrostatically Stabilized solid brass bullets. 0.416" x 400gr. Meant for large, African game where penetration is critical.

Ahh, the Woodleighs, I should have guessed. Have read about them. Nice.

 

I'm all into the TSXs / TTSXs now. Loading TTSX's in my 6.8 SPC as my go-to load, will be switching to TSX's from my Hornady DGX's for the 375 in the near future. Just working up various loads for that gun. Barnes bullets are expensive, if awesome :)

 

And I just re-read... 37 calibers? Dear god, you've got an ammunition factory going on! :p

Is it finically beneficial to re load even if you just need .40 s&w or 9mm ? Or wait till I get a 357 sig or something?

 

Depends on how much your time is worth!

 

Seriously, it takes a fair amount of time to reload your own so you have to enjoy it as a "sister hobby" to make it worthwhile.

 

If you don't count your time, it's certainly cheaper to reload .40 S&W and 9mm.

This. Obviously, the more you load, the more you'll save. I do it because I enjoy it, because I can make any combo of load that I want, and I can load them better than the factory can.
