[QUOTE="Slack, post: 1318979, member: 13947"] Hey everyone, I picked up some used reloading equipment and have a few questions to help get me started. I have a Lee single stage loader (Challenger?) with an assortment of accessories and two sets of dies, 9mm (4 dies) and .223 (4 dies). There were no instructions included with the dies and I can just barely identify them and sure don't know to adjust them. I was unable to find die specific instructions at [url]www.leeprecision.com[/url]. Where can I find instructions for my dies? My plan for the near future is to load the following 9mm, .38 special, 30-30 Win, 7.62x54R and 7.62x39. I will probably tackle them in this order. My primary purpose is to shoot cheap and often. Basically, I need plinking ammo. So I am looking to optimize for price. Any reason I shouldn't consider lead bullets for all of these calibers? I am looking for flexible powder choices for these calibers. I already have some Win 231. What single powder would you suggest I acquire next? Does anyone have .38 special, 30-30 win, or 7.62x54R dies to sell or trade? I will probably make the .223 dies and assorted brass available as a trade. Most of my shopping is done online, but as I get started I don't have a problem paying a premium for small quantities of components from a local retailer. I would prefer to support a local retailer as long as they have fair prices. Does anyone have any local (to OKC) suggestions for buying components? I know H&H appears to have a large selection and I bet they have prices to match. I also suspect they won't sell me components if they know I am using them with Lee Precision tools :D I did pick up a Lyman reloading manual from them a while back. I see J&K on here and lots of people seem happy with them. Do they carry any components other than bullets and do they make any suitable bullets for 30-30, 7.62x54R or 7.62x39? [/QUOTE]
