Dunkield Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Robby, Do a serach through this section, this question comes up quite regularly. If that doesn't answer all your questions ask away. I bought most of stuff from here, or ebay, but I think reloading stuff is banned on ebay.co.uk now. http://www.smartreloader.com/ another http://www.thegunshop.co.uk/reloading.htm This is a very handy site for information/loads etc http://www.reloadersnest.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 In the mean time while you are doing all that research, buy 3 or so different brands of factory loads, see what your gun likes best, get another 200 and just get used to the gun and get the shooting fever out of the way. There is a lot to get used to with a new gun and scope without worrying about loads etc. At the end of the above process you will have loads of brass for your reloading. If you know anyone well who is going to America and willing to carry it back, you will get it all for about 1/2 the price here. I did that, saved loads. If you want companies PM me.

Robby22 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 GREAT STUFF, THINK YOUR RIGHT WITH THE SHOOTING FEVER, IL TRY SOME DIFFERENT BRANDS AND, THEN WHEN IVE GOT USED TO THE GUN ITSELF IL START WITH THE HOME LOADING. THANKS FOR ADVICE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 First thing to buy is a couple of good reloading manuals, Nosler, Hornaday, Sierra and read about the process required first then best if possible to spend some time with an established reloader, THEN think about what kit to get Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubby_uk Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Daft question probably. Do I need to apply for a variation to my ticket for home loading, or can I just go ahead and do it myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Daft question probably. Do I need to apply for a variation to my ticket for home loading, or can I just go ahead and do it myself? just buy the gear and a good book, and of you go. good luck.

verminer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 when i started, i got someone to show me the ropes first and make sure it is someone who does not cut corners and they know what they are doing. i will never go back to buying factory stuff again.

macca Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, If you cant buy on ebay etc, buy a kit, RCBS or Lyman - a delux kit usually comes with loading manual and appropriate calibre dies. Also kits will save you up to a third compared to buying individual pieces . For a first time reloader a single die press is all that is needed. This is the minimum you need to get started http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/presses...Crusher_Pro.php Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
