Well, I'm gearing up to start reloading.
I've been gathering up equipment: Lee turret press, scales, dies, calipers, and all the rest of the basics. I've purchased and read The ABC's of Reloading and Metallic Cartridge Reloading. I've also perused this and other forums for good advice, and there has been plenty!
Initally I am going to load .45acp and .357 Mag. I may do other calibers later, but these are what I shoot the most of.
So far everything has been pretty straightforward with the exception of powder selection. I have read the powder chapters until my head hurts, and now I have information overload! It seems to me, by the comments here, and what I've read, that Unique is a pretty good all-around powder that will work well with both cartridges I want to reload.
So will it be a good powder for me to start with? Is there another one that I should be looking at? I'd like to start with one powder for the first few hundred or so rounds before I start experimenting.
