Question:

Looking to start reloading, what works for these rounds?

Within a year i plan on owning some guns that merit reloading, and having only reloaded 30-06 rounds in Boy Scouts long ago, i don't know where to startNow this isn't just another quot;How do i get into reloading?quot; question, but rather, i also have questions about reloading certain rounds, and what equipment can do them.I plan on getting a PS90 in 5.7x28mm, which is a round that i cannot find locally, so i wonder if this is a round people reload, and what equipment works for it? I'm simply looking for economy here, for this gun being a really fun plinker.I also am considering a rifle in .500 SW, and at $2 per shot, have to imagine i can save alot by reloading.I also have a Tikka T3 .223 for varmint hunting (but mostly just 100 yard target shooting), is it worth reloading for accuracy? Or not, when rounds are so cheap?I'd also like to load my own 2 3/4quot; 12ga shotgun shells, though not very many(cheap hand tools?)Is there a reloading press with dies for most of these?

Maybe obama will invite him to a Kobe Beef cookout or maybe another luau at the white house while 25 million ppl out of work are eating ramens.
SnickerThe ghetto dwellers just aren't excited this timeOne and done.
Greece used to be a wonderful country-hot sun, beautiful beaches-if Obama is re-elected Romeny will be lucky-within Obamas term america will become greece.
Does he have one in Mexico? His grandfather skedaddled there when the government wouldn't accept his extra wivesIs there one in Cayman Islands, or Switzerland? Much of his hidden assets are stashed in those two placesHe may have one in Beijing - with a crowd of Oompa-Loompas waiting on him hand and foot.
You are confusedI am a reloading instructorThere are a large number of 'new' cartridges that get made by necking down a 'parent' caseLike the 22 Hornet to 17 HornetOr the 308 Win necked down to 6mm to make the 243 WinWhen you reload these calibers you simply buy or use 17 Hornet or 243 brass - no need to neck cases down since it has become a mainstream caliberThe process of actually necking down usually includes necking down, case trimming, inside neck reaming, then fire formingIt's allot of work7.62x54R is a known cartridge308 Win is also a known standard cartridgeIf you want to make 7.62x54R you use 7.62x54R brassIf you want to make 308 Win - you use 308 Win brassIf you shove a 7.62x54R into a 308 Win FL die - you get a morf of the two - without any advantage that I can think ofThis would not be something I would pay big, big $$ to have a gunsmith buy specialized chamber reamers to produceAll in all - what you probably have is a re-barreled rifleProbably started life as a 7.62x54R and someone put a 308 Win barrel on it because the ammo is so much easier to findMy advice - just go walk into a real gun shop - not the sporting dept at WalMart - and ask the gunsmith what caliber this thing really is so you can buy the correct ammoHe shouldnt charge you anything - especially if you buy a box or two of ammo while you are thereThis would be the safest thing to do.
