I've never reloaded before.
I'll set you up for what I'm going to use the rifle for.
Fall deer hunt, rare plinking, probably 100-200rds a year through the rifle.
What I want to do is buy a few boxes of commercial hunting ammo, 150gr, use them for plinking and collect the brass to reload for hunting/future plinking. Not looking to save big bucks, or shoot tiny groups, just want to get my foot in the reloading door, save a few pennies and learn.
I plan on buying the Lee Classic, the one where you hit things with a hammer.
A reloading scale, and probably the lee auto prime.
Bullets, primers, powder, no brass though, just using my own once fired brass.
Is all this OK so far? Did I forget anything?
Will I need to size(neck, full length, something else) my brass?
Thanks, I did a search and read mysticplayer's webpage on it, but being a newbie to this, I didn't understand it all.
