new to reloading...

[pbkid6974 1]

so a buddy of mine's father passed away and he had a ton of reloading stuff. its older but i know it works. it is all in a big tote and i offered him $500 for the whole thing. i know there are tons of dies presses and other misc. things in there. everything i should need. now i just need some guidance on the whole process. does anyone know of any decent classes or books? is there someone out there willing to show me the ropes once i get everything situated? any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks,

Best thing to do first is take inventory of what you have exactly.

 

Manufacturer, models, extra accessories, etc etc.

Good book for basics: ABC of Reloading,

Good load book: Lyman 49ed

 

Even telling us the color of the equipment can help us narrow down what you have.

Did you get any old Lyman reloading books in with all that?

You can not have enough reloading literature! What are you planning on loading? Riffle, pistol?

Well most of it was red. I haven't yet picked it up, jut quickly rummaged through it in the dark poorly lit basement. I will be doing mostly pistol for now. Maybe some shotgun. I don't have a rifle larger than .22 at this point. But that will change soon enough...

Gun for hire has the NRA metallic reloading class Monday 8-20.

well i finally picked up my tote. there is a green rc press, 2 or 3 red presses labled "mec", primers, brass, about 15 different dies (sadly no .45 auto which is the one i really need. tell me what your looking for maybe we could make a trade?), scale, and tons of other misc. parts. so who wants to come over and help me sort this stuff out? if i have something you want/need that i dont need ill give it to you for your time and help.

If you could get a few pictures up you could get help from a lot of good re loaders that wouldn't be able to make the trip. If you have a little time I would be glad to share my knowledge with you. I dont think I could make it happen for a few weeks rite now though.

Where are you located?

[msg73 1]

Too bad it wasn't blue. When I heard red, the first thing that came to mind was Lee.

[pbkid6974 1]

I'm located in Flemington.

 

There are lee dies but I don't believe the presses are lee.

[AS350Driver 56]

The red ones that are labeled Mec are probably for reloading shot shells. Post some pics if you get a chance, also if there's anything you're not going to keep i'm sure there are plenty of people around here who will buy it up, myself included.

I will I just need to unpack it all and take an inventory and actually figure out what everything is...
