I do a lot of bulk pistol reloading but I would really like to learn about precision rifle reloading. If there's anyone here with a lot of experience there I will totally exploit it.
Yes!
No!
Mods here are shit.

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

I got my RCBS starter kit in 1974 and I still use it, even the little "Jr" press. Have fun!Originally Posted by LittleLebowski
Oh well.

Is it possible to use that with a pistol? Some sort of rail mount vs the barrel clamp arrangement it seems to use? I'm not about to replace my "traditional" chrono anytime soon (unless I shoot it, of course), and that one is definitely more expensive than I could justify, but learning about cool stuff is always fun.
No horse in this race (option #3 was tempting though) so did not vote in the poll.
I would not mind however; if reloading were treated like everything else here, I suspect the SNR in that section would be pretty high.

That's me as well.
Tens of thousands of pistol rounds loaded but I'm a little overwhelmed and intimidated with 223/308 practice and precision reloading.
I'd be a sponge.

I am still new to the forum. But I have been reloading for about 4-5 years now mainly pistol. But slowly will start with rifle once I get my Omega 308 can out of jail.
I know I should have gotten AA1680 or Lil' Gun for .300BLk subs but all they had that might work was IMR4895 and CCI400 primers.

What is the bare minimum set-up needed to load 9mm & 5.56 ? What is the best things to invest in that will save you time & effort over the bare minimums ? What volume of practice 9mm & 5.56 do you need to crank out in order to make this worthwhile in terms of time & money ?
I've never taken the time to dig very deeply to these questions since 9mm & 5.56 practice rounds are still relatively cheap. (As opposed to .500 S&W and .338 Lapua, for example).
I'm interested. I've been reloading since the mid 70s, though I'm not hyper geeked about all the intricacies of ultra-precision loading. I always read up on it when it comes up elsewhere, when those with experience discuss it though. I started reloading on the cheap, with a Lee Loader, and progressed from there. Mainly to be able to afford to shoot more, and casting bullets was part of that angle until more and better commercial cast bullets became easily available and affordable. Some of my guns have never had any factory ammo through them since I've had them, some very little. Mainly only buy factory in inexpensive surplus calibers and quantities.
