NICE...been wondering when you were going to post everything. If I come across anything else I forgot I will send it down to you. So far you got everything I had that was not blue.

Just don't go drilling holes in the kitchen table!

Save the Boston crème and powdered sugar I will eat that!

Here is my process for reloading pistol calibers.
Stage 1. I clean the brass in a tumbler to get all the carbon and range dirt off for about 30 minutes.
Stage 2. Decap, and resize the brass. Lube if necessary while using non carbide dies.
Stage 3. completely optional but I then run the brass for 6+ hours in polish media.
Stage 4. I use my Lee Auto Prime or the primer in the press to prime the brass.
Stage 5. I flare the cases if needed.
Stage 6. I drop powder and seat each bullet one at a time.
Stage 7. If a separate crimp is necessary I do it.
Stage 8. Shoot it and go back to stage 1!

Stages 1,3 and 4 don't require the press at all. The only stage that needs concentration is stage 6 so you don't double charge. All the other stages I have done while watching TV with the family or helping my daughter with homework. If I needed to set aside enough time to do it all from start to finish I would never get anything done. Also if I had to go to a special room it would take too much time away from family. In the last two weeks I have loaded close to 900 rounds of ammo in the following calibers, .32 H&R Mag, 9x18 Mak, .45 Auto, 300 Blackout. All the cases were prepped in stages as described above. So don't let not having a dedicated space stop you.

Thank you for a very informative post.....I will look into this.

The fact that his cojones are stored neatly and TIGHTLY in his g/f purse under lock and key is the real issue. SHE WON'T LET HIM RELOAD.

Shut it 10Shot! See post above, now that is helpful!

Glad I could help. That Lee Auto Prime you have with the shell holders may be the second most useful tool in the lot. It really cuts down on priming time, and I have loaded a hundred primers into the tray and primed brass while sitting on the couch watching TV with my wife. Multitasking at its best! She got Dancing With the Stars and I got hundreds of primed brass!

You will also want to get a scale to check the powder weight. Lee makes a cheap one that works well to get into things.

One last thing some of those Stages I posted are only 30 minutes or less once you get your set up down depending on the quantity you are loading. I can decap and resize 200-300 brass in a half hour or so. Do the stages when you can and you will have ammo before you know it.

The story I want to hear about is when you go to the range for the first time with your own loads! Please post up how you felt firing off that first round! I don't think my first rounds hit target becuse my eyes were closed!

Ok will do!

A beam scale has been recommended and I have a digi scale being sent by . Also have a Lyman and now a Hodgon (sp?) reloading manuals on the way as well as .45acp and 9mm carbide dies.

Just trying to get all I can now, while I can.

The flip flop wearing, 10 shot squib shooting, Tuna Poke eating monkey with a gun sent me a package and it arrived today. A box full of 9mm brass and some extras! I was expecting the brass, not so much the surprise contents. Thanks Brother, very much appreciated.
