Thanks again for all the info.
I noticed natchez had some powder back in stock so I pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately the powder was none of the ones mentioned here but google search returned good reviews, ended up with:
HODGDON POWDER BLC2
HODGDON POWDER CFE PISTOL
The only primers available were some match pistol magnum ones for $100 for 1k. I decided to wait on that.
So bought the lee classic as planned, will start single stage and i figured it has room to grow.
-kit comes with a scale ( i have access to a lab scale good to 0.0001g or so) I will get a cheap weight set from amazon 10mg to 100g and calibrate that on a calibrated lab scale) then test my lab scale and the one from the kit.
-case conditioning tools. Includes Cutter, Lock Stud, Chamfer Tool, small and large Primer Pocket Cleaner.
bought an assortment of die sets, unfortunately the 38spl/357 was out of stock. (any ideas where i can get it?
bought some extra 4 hole turret holders.
bought 9mm bullets ( I will start with 9mm if by the time im ready I still do not have the 38/357 dies
Any recommendations on where to get bullets, powder, and primers would be appreciated. (for making holes on paper, nothing fancy)
Will buy from amazon:
-Cheap bullet puller ($12)
-Cheap calibration weights ($12)
-More manuals if necessary (I'll check marvinstuart site first)
That leaves me missing:
1- a way to clean brass, I have plans for a homemade tumbler using walnut, but if soap and water gets it done initially i'll do that for the first few goes at it.
2- A way to measure brass (trim dies? at the moment I have no idea how the trimming is done) given what i bought so far.
3- Primer pocker swagger? can this be done with inexpensive reamer?
Thanks in advance
