Hey, just found a lot of ammo hidden...

[Seismic Sam]

Under Jo' Momma, because her butt is SOOOOO BIG!! Seriously, people, I'm getting sick of the ammo threads, because by the time you post them they're completely inaccurate or irrelevant. So knock it off already!! There is an ammo famine on, it's not going away any time soon, and it's every man for himself, and just deal with it already!! You're using up most of the bandwidth around here with useless outdated information, and not giving any n00bs a chance to come in here and ask stoopid reloading questions!! It's been SOOO long since I've had a roasted n00b sammich that I'm starting to waste away to nothing...

Very true....

Yo mamma so fat people jog around her for exercise.

Sam, I'm about a year away from reloading (space constraint in my current house and I have not RTFM). Two questions: 1) the blue presses are the only ones that really work, right? 2) on a more serious note, what role does temperature and humidity play in powder storage? Can I load and store in a garage or do I need to reserve space inside the house?

Sam, I'm about a year 3 years away from reloading

... fixed it!

Give me time

But...when I have my supplies gathered I am going to see oldman first. Then I will select a press. Then the stupidity can commence.

That far, huh? Doesn't look any more difficult than cooking

If ya backorder all yer **** now, ya might have a press, and most everything else ya need, by the time yer done with Oldman!

I have brass and primers. I have bullets on order (they should arrive any year now). I stayed away from powder since it looks like some research is needed in varieties and I havee barely looked.

It ain't! ... recipe almost never changes ... and there's only 3 ingredients! ... use locking die-rings, and ya'd actually hafta struggle, to **** it up!

Sure! ... but what 'bout the press?! ... and dies?!

As fer powder, depending on the caliber(s) ya wanna reload, there's a few purdy popular choices ... if ya can find an 8# of one of 'em, worst case, at least ya'd have some tradin' fodder!

Presses and dies don't seem to be hard to come by. Even amazon sells Lee presses. I won't buy until I know what I need...at least a little.

Powder is my next thing to look at. And I didn't think of the trading aspect. Good call, once I see what is common for handgun loads I will start shopping.

[rugersol]

Even amazon sells Lee presses.

"usually ships in 4 - 6 weeks" ... I'm guessing they ain't updated that!

It may back off?!

Regardless, if yer loadin' pistol, and ya got the money, I don't know that yer gonna learn 'nuff to decide 'tween a Hornady LNL-AP, Dillon 550, 'er Dillon 650, any better ... 'tween now, and ... whenever! Even then, won't really matter!

If ya ain't got that kinda money, 'er it ain't pistol, Redding T-7 is the best turret 'round! ... Lyman T-Mag II's a good deal! ... and almost anyone else'll recommend the Lee turret! Again, won't really matter, which!

I wouldn't bother with a single-stage ... 'sept to cheap-out ... 'er get somethin' today! ... don't hurt to have one 'round! ... I don't! ... T-7 doubles as a single-stage, plenty well! ... Lee Challenger's a good one ... as is the Hornady ... most anyone else'll claim Rock Chucker is the press to get! ... but they ain't been out from under their rock, in a spell!

I know a few of those words. I must be ready, huh?

Being able to afford a Dillon and needing one are very different, no? What I have seen so far makes me think I would be plenty happy with a turret. Saying "press" implied stingle stage? Didn't mean to...sorry. I'm looking at a few handgun calibers I would like to load, nothing crazy.

That redding looks good. I need to look at auto indexing to see if I care. My goal is to be able to knock out a few hundred rounds in a shot. I don't yet know if I would want extra turret heads. My current thought would be to get comfortable and see what I want to do. I can see a benefit to having a head per caliber...but it depends on how long the adjustments take.

Where is Sam on all of this? First he insults my mother and now he is MIA on our noob questions?
