Wanting to start reloading

What all will I need? Powder, and what components?

 

[D_Max]

Shell holder, Dies ( with a good crimp die ) Primers , Powder, and what ever bullet you want to load, 300 gr if you want to shoot it much, the recoil on the bigger bullets can be tough,

I'd be very interested to see what reloading brought the cost per round down to

Looks like it shakes out to about .17 a bullet, not bad at all paying 45 or so for 500 9mm at the moment. Bet a pound of powder goes a hell of a lot faster though loading up those monsters

Plated bullets will leave a mess in the barrel of a 460 or 500 smith it you load them anywhere close to the full potential, The plating will come off in the barrel, IMO your better off with a good jacketed bullet
