reloading can it be done

[Javelin]

always had an interest in reloading and have been trying to study up. can the following be done?

reload for 300wm with just the following tools
Wilson neck die
Wilson bullet seater
Arbor press
hand primer
power scale


I know I may need to add later but am I missing anything that I would need to actually load rounds

[tbeak]

Sure. As long as they don't need to be trimmed

you're gonna run into this problem: cases will have to be FL sized every 2-4 firings

you will need threaded dies and a Rockchucker type threaded press


if I were you, scratch the following:
Wilson seater $55
Wilson NS die with bushing $80
arbor press $100

and buy a threaded press $145 , with traditional dies $35

end result $55 savings for 1 pound of powder and bullets

Agree and this gives your room to expand with little cost.

I would go ahead and add a powder trickler to the list or powder drop also.
You can pick up cheap ones online either on sale or ebay.

Try to find someone near you who reloads already. Buy your dies and components and go learn from him. You may find that it isn't for you.

Go with what Blake said.

I've reloaded for about 3 years. I originally bought all hand tools, not an actual press. I really regretted it because it took more time.

Once I got a press, powder thrower, trickled, and trays, I could knock out about 100 rounds per hour. I enjoy reloadin, brass prep does take time and the more you shoot the more time it takes.

I mostly just hunt now so 100 rounds will easily last me a full year. It's well worth it IMO. If I were you, I would buy some used gear. People are always selling reloading gear in the classifieds.

It's really not a hard process, just follow the manuals and check the brass integrity before you load it.

As usual, I agree with Blake.

I'd as a question as well, what is your motivation for loading? Fun expansion of hobby, precision or cost savings. The first two are attainable the third imo is is tough but doable if you shoot in volume.
