Basic Reloader and Necessary Tools for Beginner
Hello,
I am interested in getting into reloading for milsurp rounds.
In the past, I was able to order most of the ammo I needed online, especially Privi from several sources (AIM Surplus as an example). Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "UPS Ground" to Alaska, so shipping of ammo from the lower 48 is prohibitively expensive and/or a complete pain in the @$$. Fortunately, most of the more mundane rounds - 5.56, 7.62x51, 7.62x39, etc. - are easy to find at local retailers.
Rounds I'd like to reload include 7.5 Swiss, 7.5 French, 6.5 Swedish, 7.62x45, and something better than the milsurp MG rounds I have for 7.62x54R and 8mm. I'm also contemplating reloading 5.7x28. As far as pistols are concerned, probably only .500 S&W and .44 Special/.44 Magnum.
Anyway, I would like opinions on which reloader to purchase, which tools are necessities, which tools are nice to have, and any other helpful suggestions on getting started.
I apologize in advance if there is a sticky for this topic - I was not able to find it by doing a search.
Thanks in advance...
