Lyman reloading manual. That’s the first “component” you need.

Thank you. I’be been looking at this. But I don’t understand it.

When you find some primers, size 209, Win, Rem, Fed or CCI, return to this thread for more help. Let us know when you have placed an order with someone who has them in stock

Find a neighbor who reloads and get their advice.

I’m new to this. And would like advice. Don’t want to get hurt while trying to have fun busting clays during the times we live in.

I have a mix of about 1000 Hulls. Remington nitro, sts and some Winchester aa. What are the components I need to reload these hulls? Wanting to make half in 1145 and half in 1250 both 1 1/8 oz.


Thank you in advance, happy shooting and God bless you all

So lets do this. Separate your hulls into three groups of similarities.

STS and Nitros are what your going to load. One will be your 1145 she'll and the other your 1250 shell. Sell or trade AA's. Keeping it simple for you.

Now what can you buy for powder and primers or have you already acquired one or the other or possibly both? If you haven't, you may not be reloading and your post and desire irrelevant.

Powders I would like at if only using one-Green Dot, American Select, International, WSH and powders of this burn rate.

Now simply look up recipes for your desired velocity for powder acquired and match the appropriate wad and primer.

Seriously, you need to see what's available if any in powder before you concern yourself further.

Lots of good suggestions above. You can get recipes from the powder websites, I would start with what you are looking for, 1145 fps. There are a few machines out there, but Dillon Precision website has some good advice and videos even if you don't buy their machine. MEC is a great starter press, look at their websites and you tube. Be SAFE and good luck

Shells might be easier to find than suitable reloading components. Probably not a great time to be getting into reloading.

Look at the Hodgdon website. Select a hull, powder and shot weight and follow recipes exactly. If you don't understand the Lyman manual and don't understand the Hodgdon website find someone that can help you.

i got a mec jr 600 from a good friend for $70. Then I have 1000 primers. Thank you for the advice.

I can get clays from a local store. What do you think about that brand.

Not to be a bummer here, but get your self a BOOK or two. People here will give some good advice but you are missing all the filler. Lyman's shotshell book would be a good start. To be successful you should understand the relationship of all components to each step and choices you make. Did anyone explain chamber pressures. SAMMI specs, hull life, relationship of proper crimps to load consistency. etc.
The cranky old me comes out to tell you the information is readily available. You need to do the work yourself.

It's as good as any and better than most and also good enough to be imitated.

yes sir my uncle told me about this. He has great advice I wish he lived closer. But he’s in Tampa and I’m here in Oklahoma. I’m going to just read more and try to figure this out.

A scale. A good reliable scale. You need a scale. Can't say it enough. Do not simply load off of bushing charts; they are only good for a starting place.

 

[Macdaddy]

You need primers first( pretty much any type) ......then 700X powder......then tapered 1-1/8 wads......that will load what you want.

Yeah because any of that stuff is interchangeable. Oh yeah I forgot if it is on the internet it is true.

 

[colonel klink]

Loading manuals and a scale are a must have. Go slow at first, quality over quantity.

 

[Nebs]

You will need two powders for what you want to load, not one. For the slower load, a faster burning powder. For the faster load, a slower burning powder. In the data, look for loads that have higher pressures, 10k psi or above. Don't get rid of the Win hulls, they are good. If you happen onto some WSH powder, they will be perfect for your faster load.

 

[Macdaddy]

If you’d take the time to read the reloading recipes for 700x.....the powder that has been around for probably 50+ years you’d find that in fact.....yes a lot of that stuff is interchangeable in certain combinations .....

But I guess I was wrong to assume that everyone does in fact read the reloading manuals.....

My bad

like I said....700x will do what he wants.

If you find some green dot that will work as well. It just uses more grains per FPS.
