I have a few things already. Press got here Thursday. Everything on your list has been ordered [emoji809] more things. I've jumped in with both feet well it co6t me both feet and an arm and a half just for 1000 primers. Lolmjcmichigan":31ucjlmq said:The manuals are great.
Steps are easy.
Stuff you have to have.
1) a press
2) dies and shell holders
3) scale in grains
4) priming tool.
5) powder funnel
6) caliper in 0.001” accuracy.
Consumables
1) case lubricant for sizing.(I like imperial wax, there are many choices, I think I tried them all before the wax.
2) bullets
3) brass
4) primers( in the right type and size)
5) powder.
There’s many optional tools.
Case prep tools, primer pocket tools, neck prep, trickles, powder drops.
I’d tell you start with something simple
Like 223 with a boat tailed bullet. I say boat tail, because flat bases sometimes need a little extra case prep. I think a 243 win was my first hand load. The flat base was a bit wider than the neck, so I crushed a couple cases, shaved jacket off a couple bullets( sharp edge on the necks). They shot great inspite of my self taught skills.
I did stick a 3006 case bad. Could not get it out...well, there’s a $10 kit for removing stuck cases... I’ve probably used it three times... none since I switched to imperial wax.
Let’s see if Fotis jumps in.

I've watched a ton of his videosGuy Miner":29zbslw0 said:Might need to do a little looking around to find exactly what you want, but my friend Gavin Gear has been making reloading videos for years. Has a great You Tube channel. There are hundreds of videos. Somewhere in there, he's probably got info you'd like.
Note - Gavin is a fast paced, high-energy kind of guy - my goodness. And, he's my friend. We shoot together. Heck, I'm in a couple of his videos. I'm not fast. LOL. So, here ya go - I link to I think 500+ videos on handloading:

7mm08 to start. Then my son has a 243 that I might try. I've made him save all his brass for the last 2 years. OCD, psychotic anal, perfectionist all of the above for me. I'm in construction if you start right it ends right. For me rough framing is finish framing.mjcmichigan":o9r9qcem said:FYI, I started the same way as Jim B. Butter tub, plastic spoon and tweezers.
You did jump in with both feet.
What calibers do you plan to load?
I shoot a 45 acp, so had a progressive set up for that alone. Other pistol, 38, 44, I load on the single stage. I buy my 9mm when I see it on sale ( lately..just when I see it ).

Case cleaning stuff. I'm going to go with wet cleaning with stainless steel media. Case trimmer. I've researched a few and the worlds finest case trimmer 2 (WFT 2) has me leaning in that direction. Overall length gauge, the bent one because my main rifle is a lever action. Concentricity tool, hornady looks like a good one and it allows you to fix a bullet that's off.
Of course a stuck case remover was not on my list. I'm going to make a mistake. Seems like this is how I learn a good bit of the time. I will get into searching for that after I get done with my one finger stabbing here.
I have a ton of questions for everyone here but I'm waiting until I get everything set up. I'm still working on the bench in my 12x20 shed I built. Which is already to small for what I need for all my needs. Thank you guys for taking the time to get me going in the right direction. More to come beware [emoji6]

Thanks

My shed was for working on my wheelers but now I have to make room for this. I'm thinking of a 4' to 6' bench with doors that close around it to keep dirt and stuff out when I'm not working on reloading. I've been pretty busy so haven't even got out there to do anything. Its a work in progress. Maybe by the time I get rolling prices on stuff will drop and get more readily available. I can hope anyway.
