Reloading Questions

Speer, Nosler, and Hornady reloading manuals include guidelines, warnings, and and instructions for beginners. They're manuals, not cookbooks.

Pick whichever one you think you'll be buying more bullets from. Or get all of them, books are always great shelf decoration.

There are actually a bunch for free on Amazon if you're a prime member. Not sure how good they are. I ordered a lee kit and it came with a pretty comprehensive book. Pretty happy with the kit so far.

Same.

I got the progressive press kit and the book is fucking THICC

>>33442891
.223 isn't really worth the time. Is rather focus on 7.7 jap if I were you.

Holy fuck, trimming cases might be the most boring and tedious aspect of reloading. Between manually working the trimmer, measuring, and de-burring by hand, I was only able to process 50 cases per half hour.

Any ideas on a faster trimming solution that isn't the same price as the rest of my reloading setup combined? I reload for precision, but not competition level, so any solution that can keep to 1.755-1.745 would be fine.

I use a lee trimmer chucked in an electric drill. It still sucks, but far faster than doing it by hand.

I have the Hornady book and it does well.

Also a tip, get a Lyman case prep tool when you buy a reloading kit. I wish I would bought mine a year and a half sooner. It's so much nicer than the crappy little tool that comes with a Lee single stage kit.

No the worst part if reloading is powder measure, unless you have a rcbs

Nah, I have a powder throw. Two batches of load testing and now I just verify every tenth load is still within spec.

You could put a jig in a mill/drill-press and set a depth-stop if you have something better than chinese drill press.

I mean set the depth stop on the quill, but this might work too: >>33444482

Are there many garage drill presses with depth gauges accurate to 0.005"?
