How many differant calibers do you reload? I must have a dozen differant caliber weapons but only reload two - 9mm and 5.56NATO. I'm thinking of adding 7.62NATO.

I should start reloading 303. All my 303 ammo is corrosive and I hate cleaning them.

What press/s do you use?

tx gun runner

I sold Dillon presses when he 1st start his business and I had a Hornady 5 stage auto press . I can not get the progressive press to load ammo to my satisfaction . So I use only the Rockchucker and I love my portable bench better then my shop benches .

Looks like they have done a few loads in their lifetime.

I reload 12 and have dies for a caliber I don't load as my plans fell thru and I had purchased the dies first. I may buy that caliber yet. It's 45 Colt and that is a great old cartridge.

Now that is a readymade excuse if I've ever heard one.

Sorry to hear that.

I love your photography.

Thanks Terry, appreciate it.
I am lucky in that I have had a mentor since starting back into shooting.
He is an older guy than me, been shooting and reloading for everything since is was much younger. He has coached and been there for me from the beginning.
He is also our club captain in our rifle/pistol club (incidentially our club has almost 900 financial members).
I have just had a bench purpose built and the guy is coming to spend a weekend soon to help me set everything up and we plan to knock out the first loads for all the calibres.
I'll let you know how it went when it all happens.
James.

Mostly handguns, 38spl, 357mag, 357max, 44spl, 44mag, 45acp, 45colt, also have set up for 270 and 30 carbine but only reload a couple times a year for them.
Recently got 38-40 but no powder or bullets for it yet.
I'm waiting for TGR to come over and show me how he does it.
I use the Rockchucker and RCBS powder measure and either RCBS or Lee dies mostly.

Also load 12ga with a Mec Jr.

If you haven't got dies yet get Lyman's it has a M-die in the set and that is the best way to load 32-20 , 38-40 and 44-40 with cast bullet . I have a ton reloading and casting stuff for sale .
