Title: Ammunition Loading
Post by: deahl001 on March 09, 2011, 12:09:15 PM
Does anyone here load their own ammo? If so, what press do you use? How about brass, bullets, etc?

Basically, I am considering investing in some tools so that I can start loading my own range ammo. If anyone has any basic walkthroughs, tips, advice, etc. I would love to hear it.

I load mine right out of the box.   :)  Sorry..couldn't resist.

Seems the general ought to know about this type of thing.  But have you tried Youtube?  I learned tons watching demos about disassembling of firearms, maintenance, etc. 

However, here's perhaps a place to start.  Ton of other such sites appeared when I Googled the topic:

I have watched youtube a bit. Also read up on a few things. I am leaning towards a Lee 4 hole turret press with auto indexing. Also think I know which recipe book I want. Just thought I would check and see if we had any "experts" on the subject that had any input. :)

Hmmm, be careful. Just recently a dude said he was going to poison a tree and oh boy.
