the running man Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm building up a lot of brass ready for when I start reloading but kinda waiting on a house move to get the space I need. In the meantime I wanted to try and ease into the simple side of this. Can you get hand held deprimers/primers or prep your cases in anyway for when you try it for real. I have it in my head I can at least have boxes of deprimed possible primed cases ready to go for in a few months time when I start reloading! you can get a hand held press,based on what the cowboys use to use,there's a guy on utube called shadowdog500 he's got loads of reloading vids,if u type in lee loadmaster you will find him. As for wads etc,try clay and game reloaders,he's got a website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this but it looks like it only primes! Can anyone tell if it deprimes as well or if there is a handheld equivalent to deprime? http://www.wild-fire.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=275 Seen a lot of the utube stuff but its tough to get a link to anywhere with good equipment descriptions that ships in the UK.

Newhampshire Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) PM me - I have some basic reloading kit for 38/.357 that will start you off. Just laying there doing nothing!! So will be cheap. Probably set you up for £80/90 Can likely find a basic reloading book for you also if you are interested. Also have a Lee Progresive 2000 set up in 38 special. (but could be changed to .357 mag.)Also surplus to requirements. About £60. (The Lee Progressive is positively not for beginers) Edited August 25, 2010 by Newhampshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredbaron Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've recently got into fun shooting with a Marlin 1894C and I can see its going ot get very expensive ammo wise. I keep being told and should load my own and ive seen starter kits for £500 which equates to about 1500 rounds of .357. Obviously I have to research how to do it properly and the starter kits seem to have everything you need including instructions but how much cheaper does it make your ammo? I just want to work out if its a path I need to walk with my .357 costing me £16.50 per 50 at the moment! Any re-loaders out there? I reload 44 mag at less than half of what you pay. My Lee Loadmaster complete with 357 dies, cases, case collator,bullets and powder is for sale. I never did buy a 357. All that is needed is the shell plate.
