Since I resemble that remark -
I'd like to thank the various responders to the posts I DID make...And, let you know that without the help of some 'loaned' components, I wouldn't be reloading anything at all! I was one of those who bought a Hornady LNL AP back in December, I wanted to get in on the 'free' bullet offer, which as of yet I still haven't got (1000 .308), But I have more than enough primers for. I also wanted to load for 5.56, which I got only 1 pound of IMR 4895, and it's more than half gone and I haven't been able to get anymore. I shouldn't even have to bring up the subject of small rifle primers! I also wanted to load for .40, and I was able to get an 8 pounder of Unique, small pistol primers and some bullets,but my die set has been on backorder since December 14th!!! I haven't been able to 'successfully' reload anything in any quantity, but I have managed to make in the neighborhood of about 100+ rounds, some .308, and some .223. I was so nervous about safety, I've probably pulled about the same amount, just to check, and being new to reloading I wasn't aware of all the 'stuff' and knowledge necessary to even make a single one.I've had plenty of time to study everything I can about reloading, I bet I have over 50 reloading bookmarks alone, and have posted questions to you 'senior' members several times! So, for all you 'older' reloaders, not to worry, by the time I get tooled up to make my own, like someone said, there should be a lot of reloading equipment on the market, with no components to reload!
