Re: [The1911Semi-AutomaticPistol] Re:Ammo

If you start with a simple reloading kit, it is really easy. Lee has a nice starter package, or if you want to spend a little more to get a progressive press, the Dillon Square Deal B is just the right machine. You will need a reloading manual, I recommend the 49th edition of the Lyman Reloading Handbook. For a set of scale I like the PACT digital scale, but many other will work well.
 
For powder there are many, I use Winchester 231, but other people use Bullseye, Unique, Red Dot, and others. I like CCI primers, but there is a shortage of primers in many areas, so buy what you can find, the same is true about powder these days. A good piece of advice, most of what I havementioned you can get from Midwayusa.com, but powder and primers are classified as HazMat and there is a $20 charge for that special shipping.  So buy powder and primers locally. I recommend Midway because they are a one stop shopping place, I have no ties with them except being a customer for many years. I have purchased from other place, such as MidSouth. Dillon stuff you can buy directly from Dillon and they have a great warranty on their equipment.
 
I cast my owner bullets, if you want more information, try the Handloadersbench.com, I am the moderator of the casting forum.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Jerry

Ok, between Jerry Jones and Jerry Smith, the ATF will be watching this converstation.
Anyhow, I have never reloaded ammo. How hard is it to do? I think there is a sporting goods store near me that sells brass for about everything. Could be something to keep my busy on rainy days.
