Reloading With Your Computer
Hi Mike,
Don't overlook the power of your computer. It is the most powerful information gathering tool you own. First, if you don't have this program, go to
www.copernic.com and download Copernic Agent. It is a great search tool that uses multiple search engines to find things for you.
Once you have this program, you can search on terms such as handloading, ammunition reloading, etc. It often helps if you throw in the word
'tutorial'. You will discover tons of information on the subject.
You should specifically look for a. reloading instructions, b. reloading supplies, c. reloading catalogs, and d. reloading equipment. Several great catalog companies represent key sources for buying materials and equipment at the most attractive prices.
For example, on of my favorite sources for buying once-fired brass is
[url]www.cheyennebrass.com[/URL]. Similarlarly, there are sweet sources for reloading tools, dies, bullet moulds, powder measures, scales, dial calipers, etc.
Personally, I like turret presses such as Redding's T-7 model. I don't think a progressive press is the best choice for a beginning reloader, although this may be a direction to take in the future.
So, you need to: a. visit the reloading web sites, b. get the important catalogs that are available., and c. read up on the subject.
Must-have catalogs are these:
1.

2.
www.natchezss.com
3.
www.sinclairintl.com
4.
www.cabelas.com

You get the idea. Search and you will find.
Wishing you all the best.
