Noob has Reloading Questions

[Cat City Slim]

Keep an eye on americanreloading.com. Selection is not huge, but you can get great deals on brass and pulled bullets. As to press, a single stage is a great starter press. If you plan to load pistol ammo, my typical rec for a starter press is the Lee Classic Turret. You can use it as a single stage, but the auto index speeds up the pistol loading process.

Brass, keep looking. Several here sell brass. Starline is preferred for new.

I was taught on a RCBS Rock Chucker in 1975. I bought a Rock Chucker and used it for 40 years. Bought a Dillon 4 years ago. 99% of loading is still done on the Rock Chucker. Rifle cartridges and Rock Chucker are like bread and butter.

1. Where are some good places to buy brass. Unfortunately one of the cases I need is 6.5 prc

2. Any reason I should not start with a simple single stage press?

THanks!

Reading these posts I didn't realize OKC Was such a wasteland for finding reloading supplies. I guess we are just spoiled with shops in the tulsa area.

For your bullets I say drive to Sedalia, Mo. and buy the seconds at the Sierra factory. Usually, the best price you'll find and worth the trip.

I still use my RCBS single stage. Its all I have ever used.

I still use an RCBS single stage press too, as well as their manual trimmer, beam scale, chamfer and debur tools etc...

They still generate just as much accuracy as the $$$$ setups...just takes longer to get the rounds loaded.
