re: Getting into reloading and have questions.

You will definitely need a firm bench for your reloader, something that can be subjected to lots of force and can take a beating.

You'll need a scale to measure your charges, I didn't see one in the pic. The primer loading tool they supply is a nice thing to have.

You will also need several 5 gallon buckets, they will come in handy for your tumbling media if you got that route. I'd love to get into wet tumbling with stainless media, but currently cannot justify the cost.

I will give you one piece of advice. Those lubricants they sell are overpriced and don't last long at all. Buying those is highway robbery.

I mix a solution of alcohol with pure lanolin. About 5% lanolin to 95% alcohol. Use the purest alcohol you can find, I use 91%, which is fairly easy to find at most drugstores.

You have to heat up the alcohol in a double boiler, then mix in the lanolin, but you can store it in a spray bottle. Works as good or better than the stuff you buy in a spray can, and is way cheaper. I bought a can of that stuff in the ad, it was $10 and lasted maybe 1000 pieces of brass.

I just spray my solution on a pile of brass and run it through the Dillon. You won't feel bad about some of it getting wasted, it's so cheap.
