Who here dabbles in this? Thinking of trying my hand in 300 blk. Any advice or mentoring is welcomed and appreciated.

if u are starting from scratch with no supplies I would suggest the Rockchucker start up kit from rcbs. it has everything u need to get up and running except for dies, powder, primers, brass, and bullets. most important thing to have its a good manual. the rcbs kit has one that comes with it which is good but the Lyman manual is best for new handloaders. Feel free to pm me if u have questions. Do not to go into it thinking u will save money on ammo. it is possible to over the years but you have to shoot a lot for it to add up.

i have the lyman tmag 2 set up. 300 blk, 223, 30-06, and 22-250 dies. Been reading a lot the last few years.

I love reloading because it is another part of the puzzle that I am hands on with. Also I can tailor certain rounds to certain situations. I might not save money but I always have it and I find everything I make superior to factory ammo.
I have the rockchucker press with Hornady quick change die bushings, and a Hornady Lock and Load press for progressive. Both seem to work for me. Just take your time, start with a low to midrange load and work from there. Watch a few YouTube videos, they can help a lot when setting up your dies for the first time.
I thought I was going to save all sorts of money. I just ended up getting more dies, guns, brass, and all sorts of fun things. Now all I need is a bigger room.

PM me with any questions. Been rolling my own for 25 years. Don’t even buy factory other than .22LR.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I load 223, 300BLK and .40 on a Dillon 550. And 308 supers, subs, and expanding subsonics on a redding t7 turret press.
Loaded 400 300BLK subs last night. 220gr sierra BTHP with 11.1gr AA1680 Loaded to 2.120 OAL
Used a rock chucker for years but would recommend getting a Redding T7 Turret press for accurate rifle ammo. It has 7 stations to keep all your dies set perfectly adjusted for multiple calibers. Just move the turret to the right die. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/588482/
