I started reloading rifle ammo back in the late 70s after high school. A frends father was a sheriff deputy and he had a reloading bench along a full wall down in his basement.
I use to enjoy watching them reloading rifle and pistol ammunition.
Kind of taking it full cycle.
I use to go woodchuck hunting with my friend snd ended up buying a Rockchucker press and all of the other goodies that goes with it.
When we drifted apart I ended up selling my reloading stuff.
I just bought factory ammo for what I needed.
Forty some years later my grandson really like shooting rifle and pistol.
I started him out shooting at four years old, eight years ago
When he started to get a little size I started up reloading again so I could make reduced loads for him with out the hard recoil.
Now he can shoot the big boy stuff with out any flinching what so ever.
I have two single-stage Hornady lock n Load presses set up side by side.
For pistol I'll resize in the ist press, remove the case and incert it in to the 2nd press and do the flare.
I prime with the Lee Bench Prime at the kitchen table.
Then I drop the powder, seat the bullet in the 1st press, remove the cartridge, incert it in to the 2nd press and crimp it.
Done.
The last couple of years I have been buying lots of reloading stuff. Our shed is 10 by 14, this will be our reloading room. I will have twenty-five foot of wall mounted reloading bench out there. I had a electrician frien come over and wire it up with a hundred Amp house service with AC for summer time and 220 wall mounted heater for winter time.
Once I get this done and up and running I want to start up reloading classes.
I bought a Dillion 650, two Dillion 550s, a Dillion Square Deal, a Hornady AP press, a Redding T-7 press several Hornady single-stage Lock n Load presses, several RCBS Rockchucker presses, several Lee presses, a bunch oh powder measurers, lots of die sets, lots of primers, lots of bullets, a bunch of reloading manuals, dial calipers, you name it I probable bought it.
I few years ago I was buying and selling a lot of range brass, about three tons of it. When the bottom fell out of it I cut back on buying range brass but still continue to buy some , seperate it, wet tumble it and store it.
When I start doing reloading classes I'll have enough brass to go around.
If the price of brass ever picks up again I'll start buying more of it and start advertising it again
I will set up a small reloading bench and have it all set up to reload with everything you will need to get started in what ever caliber or calibers you reload for and if any one is interested in it they can by the complete setup, bench and everything that goes with it including manuals, powder, primers and bullets.
I'll also offer the use of the equipment for people who would like to reload but don't have the room or the funds to dive it to it.
Right now I am reloading in an up stairs walk in closet. It doubles and my reloading space and gun storage area.
The shed will be a pleasure with the extra space.
I've started several people out reloading in my small reloading room.
It's a very rewarding hobby.
