As I gaze into my crystal ball I see a future where I may need to reload my own ammo. Any recommendations on getting started? So far, all local stores are sold out of the kits. Appreciate any help.
I would start looking for powder & bullets now. I bought my first pound of powder a month before I had the press set up. If you let us know what cartridges you intend to load we could likely make suggestions as t what powder you will needThank you all for the responses. Info was great and got me excited to get started. Ordered a RCBS kit and it should be here in early January. Most of the different kits estimated in-stock dates I found were iffy at best so I probably paid more than I should have. Once I get it and dig into it I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. I appreciate your help and apologize now for my future dumb questions.
Thanks, looking at 40 S&W, 38 spcl, 223/556, 30-06.I would start looking for powder & bullets now. I bought my first pound of powder a month before I had the press set up. If you let us know what cartridges you intend to load we could likely make suggestions as t what powder you will need

.38 Special.
Easy to do with a single-stage press. (That's what I learned on.)
If Bidriss locks down high capacity clippy things, the revolver will be King.
Plus revolvers are fun to shoot; you can shoot .38s in .38 and .357 revolvers.
IMHO, S&W makes the best revolvers!
