Primer pocket cleaner

Deburrer

A case trimmer, Tim favors the RCBS one with the quick release, can be had for 90 brand new, you can find it cheaper on ebay ETC.

I think your kit comes with a scale but if it doesn't get a good scale

 

Your kit is fairly complete so your lucky there but good luck with it. Tim is EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!!

Lyman #49 reloading manual. Need more than one

 

Universal decapping die

 

RCBS Stuck case remover. You will be glad when you need it.

 

An extra powder measure. I have one for each powder and or caliber.

 

Reloader Labels

 

I'll show you more odds and ends for the bench when I show you my set up.

Yes I plan on tapping into tbtrout and tony357 for help.

Reloading is awesome! If you think guns are addicting wait until you start reloading.

I bought tonight:

1# Bullseye

1# Winchester 296

1K Winchester small pistol primers

1 box (100 count) Hornady 140 GR HP/XTP .357

 

Happy Birthday to me.

Wolfy, where did you find the primers?

John Gene Salomon has them. 1K per customer limit. A few weeks ago I bought 1k each of small and large rifle so I don't know if it is 1k per type of primer.

Thanks Wolfy!

Midway has Fiochi (?) small rifle primers this am.

Thanks, my Lee machine says to only use CCI or Winchester primers? Not sure why? I will be getting into rifle reloading in the spring but for now I only do 9mm and .40S&W.

What type of primers are you looking for? The rifle primers I bought last time are Remington. Like everywhere else it is whatever he gets in stock.

Small Pistol, any brand

Those are two of the hardest cup primers. Federal is the softest and a lot of Press manufacturers say do not us Federal in an auto prime press. Popular opinion has it that the Lawyers are being over cautious. Someone at one time or two probably jammed the reoading arm too hard and had a feed problem then ingnited all their primers and sued some one. I have and use Federal in my Dillons and have not had an issue.
