Hi there,
I'm a new member here and after some lurking around I've decided to join in for some questions... i know i'm a rookie but all of us are sometime, so please be patient
I have a new 9x21mm handgun, and due to the price of ammunition and need of practice, i've decided to get into economy reloading. Economy in the way of using more time instead of more money to obtain my ammo.
I live in Italy and so things maybe a little different. But as far as I can tell, the main differences are for numbers and quantities allowed, other things i can find here and we have almost anything you have in the US.
Another thing, i've already done some reloading thanks to a friend of mine that reloads and is teaching me the first things to do.
So, let's go for the asking... i'd like to state that I'm not on a budget but don't want what i don't need. Just the essential.. thanks.
I have a RCBS Partner Press like new, (I traded it from a reloader for a case of shotshells ) but i don't have the Dies.
So first of all i'm needing the Dies and Shellholder. My dealer has the Lee's die set but i'd like to take a RCBS set, AFAIK, Lee should be the "cheap" brand of the pack, but i like your opinions.
On the dies... i saw with my first reloads that the round came a little "tapered" compared to the commercial ones, here's a picture:
The center round is a factory one [Magtech]. Is that any good? I've read that there are Taper and Roll crimp dies... i guess that i've used a Tapered one... is that the result?
Thanks.
Another thing is the Scale. I'd like an Electronic one, mains feeded (no batteries), easy to use no overkill for my application... here i'm blind. Any advice is welcomed!
Any other thing that come in your mind for the essentials...
Many, many thanks to all, sorry for my eventual bad english and all my questions, i'm relying on you to have advice for my to-buy list!
