Reloading again

Whatcha mean by brands?  Reloading equipment, etc. or cartridges?

Bobcat, Who makes the best reloading presses, power measures, scales, dies, etc. for 270, 264, 280, 308, 338 win mag, 222 mag, 243, 303 and 7mm mag.  When I was reloading I used 4831 powder and 2 others but can't remember the #s. Thanks for the come back. I hope this is better.

rcbs for centerfire,
mec for shotguns
redding or rcbs for dies


rcbs makes some killer starter kits...
Also, IF you get a digital scale- it is a MUST that you still have a beam n balance scale.
I never trust the digital system.

Bobcat,  When I was reloading my home insurance company would raise my premiums if I stored the primers in the house.  What are if any Regs. I should be aware of.

Most manufactures of presses put out a good product.  I am a fan of RCBS, I have used one for years, no problems.  Have tried lee and lyman too, just like rcbs better.
You have quite the spectrum caliber wise.  FOr powder I have used H 4831, rl22, imr 4350, H414, IMR 3031, Imr 7828 and a few others that I can't quite remember.  For the big mags I have use 7827 and 4831 with some rl22 for a few.  For the 22's I use 3031 and 414. for the mid caliber (270, 280) we use 4350.  Hope this helps a little!

Hate to see if my apartment went up in flames....
Youd see the mushroom cloud from dickinson....
lol.

Sticks,  RCBS makes some good reloading equipment.  I would recomend buying neck sizer dies for all of your rounds.  This will make your brass last longer.  Only if you use the same brass in the same gun.  As far as powder and such it is all on the calibur and what you plan on hunting with each gun.  I have a 204 and 22-250 that are used for praire dogs and the occational yote.  I have a 243 used just for yotes and a 257 weatherby mag for deer only and a 300 weatherby mag for elk or bigger.  Each one of my hand loads are targeted for each game animal.  I would use a high performance bullet on the mag cal.,  and a fragmenting bullet on the 20 - 22 cal which are generally cheaper.  Look up specific powder dealers websites.  They will give you different wt. bullets and different powders to use the min and max powder etc.  The ball powders are more accurate for reloading and the pencil powder is a little less accurate coming through your powder measurers.  Reloading can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it.  enjoy.

Thanks Guys/Gals which ever ..... you all have brought back alot of good memories. I don't know why I ever stop reloading. But think the kids and 3 jobs had something to do with it. Their gone now so let the fun begin.  Thanks again
