    I'm looking for some reloading stuff, not sure exactly what all I need, as I'm a newbie reloader. I have some stuff, but not all the basic stuff. Like I still need a electronic scale, that powder hopper measure thing, powder (but I have bought 2 bottles), dies, needing .308, 6.5 CM, .204 Ruger, 7mm-08, .454 casull, .45colt .40, 9mm, .357, a case tumbler, case trimmer pilots, bullet puller/hammer, pad, etc.
    As you can see, I'm still a ways off. Yes, I know I can buy these on-line, but I'm good with discounted used stuff. Stuff that you're not using or no longer need. And just because I did not list something I don't have, just means I forgot or didn't know I needed it. So I'm open to all offers. Either post it up, or send me a PM with what you want to get rid of and asking price.
    Also, I have 1 single stage press, but I'm looking for one that has that cut-out in the ram, with the little arm that loads the primer (I think that's what it does). Eventually I want 3 single presses so I don't have to keep changing the dies loading one caliber. I know, I could get the quick change die plugs or whatever they're called, but I'll have to keep removing and replacing each die on a single press. So if you got a cheap one for sell, post or PM me.
    Might be interested in a 3 or 4 stage hand progressive press or turret press, nothing elaborate as those high dollar automatic ones like jj has. Remember, I'm a beginner reloader, nowhere near a pro like jj is.
    So if you have something, let me know.

    Thanks


    Edit:
    My calibers: .204, 223, 243, 6.5cm, 7mm-08, 30 carbine, 308, 9mm, 357, 40, 45, 45colt, 454 casull
    Powders: IMR-4064, 4227, 4895, Accurate #5, H380, H4350.

    Okay gents, I have got a couple items from a few members so I have edited my OP removing what I got. So whats left (still listed) I still need and whatever else you experts and novice reloaders know I need.
    I did get a couple sample baggies of powders from Bowfreak for testing to see how it performs or not, for my needs. So I'm open to others for a small sample of different powders, maybe enough to do 15 rounds. I want to do 5 rds below the recommended grains, and work up 5 rds each, maybe 3 rds each, to find my ES and SD for zero. Did I say that correct?
    And have no worries, I will get an expert to sit down with me to walk me through the process Before I start reloading. I just want to be safe doing it.

    Anyway, I've updated my OP and listed the rounds I use and want to reload, and the powders I have now to test. So please, if anyone wants to sell/donate a small sample of powder, please PM me with the powder # and your asking price. And/Or other items you have that I may need.
    Thanks

    If you are reloading either the .223rem, .204 ruger, .308win, 7-08win, 6.5cm or the .243win, what is your powder choice that you personally use? There are all kinds of different powders to use, and most all perform differently. As a beginner, I don't know which will get the best performance. I use these calibers for hunting, and all but the .223 and .243, are single shot rifles, the 6.5cm is bolt.
    So I am asking if you have any extra of your favorite powder, and are willing to part with a small amount, I will pay for some. I have the small preserve jars (new/unused), that I can put it in to keep it sealed until I can get enough stuff to start loading. Even if you don't have any to spare, I'd still like to know what powder you use. Help out a beginner, if you can. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

    Santa has came and gone, the New Year is here. Time to clean out your old reloading stuff that you don't need or have newer stuff. I am still looking and needing reloading supplies so I can start the hobby.
    I need quite a lot of stuff. Mainly dies, trimmer, powders, press and most likely stuff I don't know to have/need?
    Please let me know what you have to sell, trade or give away in reloading stuff. Thanks

    Check out the lee breechlock anniversary kit. It has a lot of good stuff with it and can be had for under 150. Just add dies and components and you're good to go. More time consuming than having a true trimmer or case prep machine but it gets the job done on a minimal budget.

    if you have a large drum RCBS powder measure I have a NIB small drum for it.
    I may be able to dig up a new priming arm for a Rock Chucker...I prime other ways.
    May have a deburring tool I don't have to have.
    I could probably rake up a medium flat rate box of .40

    didn't know how you planned on doing things...weighing each charge on an electronic or using a measure and trickle and beam type scale.
