Reloading equipment at gun shows.

[Rstjean]

I have never been to a gun show so I was wondering if that would be a good place to buy everything I need for reloading. Specifically Alberta gun shows.

Thanks Ryan

Just getting into reloading? Some guns shows you can find dies and projectiles. What cartridges are you looking for?

Yeah i am just getting into reloading. Right now I would like to reload 45 acp and 9mm. As soon as I figure out what ar to buy and how to buy it without the wife knowing how much it actually cost I will be reloading for that too.

To give you the best advice, perhaps classify your shooting interests (hunting, action shooting) and range of calibers. If you are a hunter shooting in limited volume then any single stage press will do.

If you are shooting in volume the Dillon 550b is a cant lose purchase. I did start with a Lee turrent press and I won't bash Lee because it fills a niche and you get what you pay for. My Dillon 550 is 13 years old and I have a new in the box 650 to set up. You could consider a Hornady but I have no experience

If you are looking for consumables, then consider organizing a bulk buy. The site sponsors offer good deals and shipping

Here in Ontario there is usually one or two vendors that have equipment, some new and some used and I have found lots of good things but as above you need to know what the prices of new items are. You also don't to buy somebody's worn out tools.
