Next step - reloading Lapua cases already primed.
Have a heap of Federal cases and PMC in 308 if you want to experiment, before playing with quality brass.
PM me with addy and I'll send ya 50 Fed to play with - N/C.

Thanks Wally, but I am sorted for brass as I always save mine. I already have some stock of consumables, so now need to invest in a good press, as advised right here, plus maybe some poo for three dies. and I should be about set to have a go

I have a good quality RCBS powder thrower, RCBS scales (Ohaus 5-0-5 I think) and RCBS trickler that will be packaged up tomorrow.

Too kind GM. I will pm you.

Agreed. Doesn't save money but allows you to shoot more and better.

Alas poor Pengy, I knew him well. It was the kindness of forum members gifting him reloading gear that he felt obliged to use that finally drove him insane. Too many hours spent reloading had reduced his wings to stubs but it was the psychological impact of having to develop the perfect load for every calibre known to man that finally drove him insane to the point where he BBQ'd one hundred freshly loaded fifty cal rounds thinking they were Pilchards

Hey, it was meant to sound MORE than just a little creepy.

I now have Liam Neeson`s voice in my head saying stuff like, " I dont know who you are......etc etc"

Pengy Pengy, 'bout time you got your shite together, you're gunna love it

I'd avoid the Lee cast alloy press. I have a Lee cast iron one and it is miles better.

Problem is you will always be running out of stuff. Just this morning I have run out of 6.5 projectiles for my TCU and only have 1lb powder left for it (did ya hear me Mr Pengy) luckily I still have 9000 small rifle primers left

I don't shoot enough to ever run out of stuff.......yet

Wait...................now you are reloading it wont be long.

I am in a similar position having just bought a set of 7mm RM dies off @Dreamer. I figured I'll start reloading eventually so can't hurt to have some stuff lying around. Only problem is now I'm keen to get all the other bits and bobs. If anyone has any of the essentials that they're not using and keen to move them on I'm in the market.

So far I have brass, projectiles, a little bit of powder a three die set and about half a clue of how it works.
