 Hi all, well I'm going to start reloading here soon and I was wondering if someone can give a checklist of what I need to get started. I have a MEC 600 I got from Charlie on this forum. So far thats all I have. I want to reload for both 2 3/4" and 2 1/2". So what do I need to get going?
Thanks so much for all your help in this.
All the best!!!
Greg
P.S. Pretend that I'm dumb - which I am  |

If you'll post what type of loads you're looking to reload, I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies.
Hulls - Get a stash if you don't have any yet. They'll dictate which wad you need. Plus how heavy a load you want will dictate the wad.
Primers - I personally shoot PMC Optimas
Powder - Depends on #1 above
Shot - Can you say OUCH! $40 per bag on average. |
