Hi there, I am new to reloading, just getting all of the tools together in order to load 38 Spl for target work. Working on my bench, waiting for my Dillon Square Deal to arrive. I have purchased a RCBS 5 0 2 Scale and some Lyman Corncob media ( I have a 3 barrel rock tumbler for case prep) planning to get a kinetic hammer and an RCBS Trickler 2. I am shooting through 10 boxes of Winchester USA Brand 38 Spl LRN which will give me some brass to work with. My questions are,
what would be the best manuals for my data needs ? and what other tools do I require ?
Thanks
 
Go to your local gun shop and get a reloading manual. there are lots available.
You will need some calipers to measure overall lenth of your bullet.
Good choice of press, you will be happy.
 
If you are new to reloading, please be very careful charging you cases with Bullseye. 2-4 grains of bullseye is a very, very small amount of gunpowder. Like about the same amount of salt in a McDonals salt packet. ;)

I've reloaded rifle rounds for years and when I finally got a 357 magnum, I was drooling at the number of rounds I could get out of a pound of bullseye and then I started measuring such a small amount out, and got a little nervous.

You could start with Trailboss as it is much more voluminous. It's a little more expensive but you still get a hell of a lot of rounds out of a can.

If not, just be careful.

I have a Lyman and a Lee reloading manual, either one will serve well. Good luck.
