natitude Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi all from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia! New here to the forum and I'm looking forward to all the information there seems to be here on it[emoji106] I currently shoot and am in love with (shh.. don't tell my wife, even though I think she knows) my S&W Shield 9. Also have a third generation 32 Winchester Special. I'm currently looking to get into reloading l, just not sure which way to go on a press. Kind of limited with [emoji385][emoji385] being father of three. "Protected by Shield" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reshoot Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Welcome to the forums! Buy yourself a reloading manual . . . any manual. I'm partial to Hornady but, they all do a good job of explaining the fundamentals . . . terminology and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Welcome aboard. Best way to start deciding which press to buy is to think about 1. how many calibers will you be reloading? 2. how many rounds of each will you reload per month or year? 3. how much time do you have to reload? That's a good start - if you're loading only for the Shield, and you're NOT in competitive shooting, you can use a single stage press (very inexpensive - I used one for years - and you'll never outgrow it - always comes in handy).

Erttactics Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Welcome, tons of info here. As for reloaders? Everyone has their own budget and opinion, overall they all get the job done, some better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubguy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Really can't go wrong with Dillon 550b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just get a single stage press. Lee makes a good inexpensive one. The "other stuff" will eat your budget and it's needed no matter the press. Chrono Scale Die sets Funnels Caliper Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
