Holy chit Dave! So sorry to hear this but glad you pulled through! If it was this virus, then your damn lucky and were probably inches from death... ughhh

found a local guy selling 25# bags of Lawrence brand magnum shot in 7.5,8, and 9. For a newbie reloader, making up non=competitive skeet shells, would a bag of 7.5's and a bag of 8's be a wise buy?? 30$ a bag.. also grabbing 800 small pistol primers, a sealed 1# blue dot and a sealed 1# 2400 powders. 20$,15$,15$ respectively... he has a sealed 12# keg of 700-X for 180$.. not a bad deal, but im about broke from being out of work.. not to mention 12# would last a me wayyyy longer than really necessary!

scorp, I had planned on making that trip there right before this covid virus bullchit really started in.. I def get there once things settle down about.. Its only about 40 mins from me, and 10 mins from where my daughter keeps one of the horses and train with her instructor.. hoping to possible score the long primer tube for my MEC 650 that has the old style primer feed system.. And old dusty place is just about right for finding something like that...

My sweetest smile! ok.. so its not really me.. but....

i have none; just trying to get my first relaoding setup going. I have a couple cases of factory loaded shells on hand, so no rush for me to find them. Hell, we cant even go shoot to burn through the 500 or so rounds i have on hand. Just trying to get a hobby started.. With that said, im sure your too far to make selling some primers worth while.. I believe cant ship without hazmat... And good idea on the location updates.. Updating my post now..

Location? think your may be too far to make a drive worth it, and primers cant ship i dont believe... Also, i have a 500ct bag of claybusters WAA12SL replacement wads/ CB1100a12 These are the pink ones. On the bag it says optimum load is 1oz. Looking up the specs of the 500 winchester aa white wads you posted, yours and mine both say 1 to 1 1/8 load. Whats the differences between the white and pink? Can i lopad 1-1/8 oz 7.5 shot into a AA hull with these pink WAA12SL style wads?

Man, i though this thread topic was a great idea and was gonna have a healthy posting party! With ammo scarce, and supplies dwindling, thought people would have a need.... anyway, i compiled a little list of wants and haves: Looking for; 12ga primers. 1 1/8 wads for AA hulls. 7.5 & 8 shot Long chrome primer holder tube for MEC 650 old style primer feed. .303 british press dies 7.7x58 Jap (arisaka type 99) dies223/556 dies 9mm dies .40s&w dies reloading componenets (bullets, primers, powder, brass) for 9mm, .40s&w ,.45acp, 223/556, .357/38, .303 british, 7.7jap. reloading equipment such as turrent press, powder measure, scales, etc etc. anything to get started accuiring good equipment. Have and dont need, sell or trade. .32 winchester special RCBS dies Hornady 30 Cal .308 160 gr FTX® (308 Marlin Express) Flex Tip bullets. 100 ct. box 10 pcs Winchester nickel plated .243 WSSM brass. 08562 Zip code

Fugured i would post a quick follow up.. The classic lee turret kit was back in stock for a very short time at Titan reloading.. i miss the boat. Figured im not in any rush, i have plenty of factory ammo on hand. Want to put more thought into this and maybe hold old for better quality used stuff. If nothing comes up by the time im ready, then i go with the Lee classic turret kit.. Also, heres a little list i compiled of some things i need and a few things i have but dont need.. Looking for; 12ga primers. 1 1/8 wads for AA hulls. 7.5 & 8 shot Long chrome primer holder tube for MEC 650 old style primer feed. .303 british press dies 7.7x58 Jap (arisaka type 99) dies 9mm dies .40s&w dies reloading componenets (bullets, primers, powder, brass) for 9mm,.40s&w,.45acp,.357/38,.303 british, 7.7jap. reloading equipment such as turrent press, powder measure, scales, etc etc. anything to get started accuiring good equipment.

I suspect it would go over like a fart in church..... not good

20-30K is spot on for a typical system.. Thats been the going price for the last 15 years or so..

Let me know if you decide you want to sell... and those are 3 of the main calibers i want to reload!

This is my vision... An enjoyable and relaxing hobby.. I dont have a real NEED to reload.. i dont shoot all that much.. i would probably shoot more if i did reload myself.. Im a handy, self reliant person. I do all my own auto repairs, home repairs, etc.. hell, i even hunt, fish, and plant a garden. though i dont eat vegatables.. the ABILITY to reload just seems important to me. It goes along with my self reliant personality.. I want to teach my son too. hell, one day it will all be his anyway. Hopefully this coronavirus shit doesnt take me out cause he cant inherit all these guns at 16..

They kill you with shipping.. runs the kit to 255$... Is there something in this kit that makes it better than this kit: https://www.titanreloading.com/lee-precision-reloading-equipment/lee-reloading-kits/lee-classic-cast-turret-press-kit And finally, you want to sell your kit now that you moved on to a progressive press??

Very generous of you! I would have taken great care of it, but at this point i don thave enough components so ill hold out to find a Lee classic turret kit in stock somwhere! Thank you though!

Right after i posted to start this threat about the particular kit i linked too; i went browsing the net and learning more. I realized what the turret style were, and quickly realized thats they way to go... I come back to thread and found all the great advice and numerous replies.. At this point, the Lee classic turret kit seems to be the no brainer for entry level reloading.. The sad part is, cant find it ANYWHERE in stock. Out of stock everywhere. TitanReloading has the best price at 195ish.. Wish it was in stock, id buy it now.. Anyone have anything they want to part with!!?

web address appears incorrect.. That is a livestock fencing compant in oklahoma...

As the title states... Any opinions on this kit?? Reviews seem good and price seems great.. Ive looked and found used RCBS presses for 50-75, press only.. Then ned to figure out all the other components i would need and purchase seperately.. This Lee kit seems like its got pretty much everything needed to get started at a basic level. I would be reloading 9, 40, 45, and .223/.556 Also, at some point, would be reloading .303 brittish and 7.7 jap.. have rifles in both calibers but have not shot them yet, more for the scaricity and cost of ammo.

Thank you! Above and beyond!

Thanks for the update Jack! Im staying relaxed.. okay, maybe a little stressed! Or more like bummed... I have some real shitty timing and luck. I have my last permit in hand, already extended, and it expires this week.. I have a handgun i bought and paid for in a private sale sitting at my FFL for 4 weeks now. I was in OGM jail, and was out of OGM jail last saturday! THE day the nics shutdown happened. My FFL put in my NICS during the afternoon, before the deadline... Has yet to get the NICS back, and even so, cant finish the transfer anyways since he's shut down.. Im just hoping the nics comes back in the next few days and our moronic governor is forced to allow dealers back in business..

same question here.. Anyone get any back from last saturday?? @JT Custom Guns

Same here!!! Fkn jerkoff he is...

unfortunetly, no patience left when dealing with this c*cksucker Murphy and his games.... Other than that, im pretty darn patient.. maybe too much... my girlfriend calls me a lazy ahole often...

Thanks! Good to know theres still hope.. i have my last permit in hand, already been extened, and will expire on 4/6... FFL has been holding a private transaction hand gun for while i was waiting to get out of OGM jail... Of course saturday was day 31... Hoping this NICS from saturday comes through so i can take posession of a gun i already paid for 3 weeks ago!

Im in the same boat.. Has one submitted about noon on saturday.. Havnt heard from my FFL yet, so fingers crossed! Did you have any come through since saturday at the 9pm shutdown for new submissions??
