I came into possession of a Pacific DL 150 reloader, but it came with no manual, so I have no Idea what order the shot shell must go thru in order to be reloaded, can someone with the same model or the knowledge help me.
Thanks

    Just got some 125 gr slugs for a 30-30 post 1964 Winchester. My data is for 110 or 150 gr loads. I use IMR 4064 powder. Does anyone have data for this type of workup? I bought these when it was impossible to get any type of components. Thanx Obama!
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    I am thinking of starting to reload my ammo and I'm wondering what is the best set for the least amount of money.

    Hello Everyone, I'm Joe. It has been 15 minutes since the last time I reloaded. I have been addicted for 3 years now. When I reload, time stands still. On my days off, I reload. I am obsessed with accuracy and getting that sub MOA at 200 yards for my simple hunting rifle. When I go to bed at night, I think on how to make my bench rest more sturdy and strap my gun in so when I do my ladder at 200 yards, human error is taken out of the equation.

    Someone once told me that I might not be the only one.That there are more out there.

    My name is Joe and I am addicted to reloading.

    [:D]

    I think I have made the decision to get on the reloading band wagon. I'm looking for someone in the nor cal---east of Sacramento area as a tutor. From walking me through the purchase of a dependable set up to educating me on the first run. I have lots of brass--38, 9mm 40, 45, 44, 223 243 308 and soon--44.40. I'm a tactile learner so hands on with a mentor is far more effective to me as opposed to just buying equipment and reading a book. Plus---meeting new people.

    Thanks in advance

    Tell me about reloading. What do I need to have? Would this cover all of the tools I need? http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00005085003
    All I want to reload right now is 40cal and 30-06. How much money can a person save by reloading? How many times can the brass cases be used?
    I'm sure I will think of more questions later.

    I shoot a Marlin guide gun for hunting in 45/70. With the introduction of the 450 with the new pointed ballistic tip bullets, I would like to know if I can use these bullets in my 45/70 reloads.

    I am in the process of looking for equipment. I want something that I can reload my rifles as well as my 9mm. Is there one that is better than the other? Any help would be appreciated.

    I`m gonna catch a lot of flack over this probably but, There isn`t too much importance concerning brands, The type of press and equiptment is of more importance. I don`t reload rifle ammo so I can`t give any help on what type of press to buy. I reload handgun ammo only, I have a turrett press. My press might be just fine for rifle and handgun both but I don`t know. I prefer Lyman equiptment. The brand argument can go on and on as long as this post survives. My point is as I said at first, Type of equiptment will be more important than brand. There will be people here shortly that will add a wealth of info to you, I`m sure. Good Luck.

    knucklehead - I agree with you about the argument of what color the press is (in other words...what brand)....but I do have this to say.

    The quality of equipment made now, is not nearly as good as it used to be...in all of the top brands.

    I have an older RCBS Rockchucker...that is TEN times the press that the new Rockchucker Supreme is. Set them side by side...anybody would pick the older press.

    66mustangman - buy a single stage press to begin with...then work your way to a turret or multistage press. Walk before you learn how to run...make your mistakes on a small quantity of reloads.

    I also load on a turret press,(have single stage press also for special projects).You can load any thing on a turret,plenty of room for rifle cases,a little added speed for pistol reloading.For straight wall(pistol)cases,make sure to get carbide dies.Also get two or three loading manuals and READ THEM.Then set up your bench or loading station and have fun!

    I recommend a RCBS Rock Chucker. There is a tremendous difference in quality between brands. RCBS makes some of the best equipment out there. If you want something that is going to last you a lifetime, go with the RCBS. After you have the basics down, then you may want to look at a progressive press for your handgun ammo. I have the RCBS Pro-2000 (I think). It's a great progressive press. I second the post about getting several manuals and reading them through. hope this helps.

    for beginning, I would lean on the RCBS Rockchucker or the redding pressess and Redding or rcbs dies. Read a few manuals first to get acclimated to the proceedure, and if possible, have a friend who is experienced walk you through setting up your equipment and loading some of your first rounds.

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
