I am brand new to reloading and I have a couple of questions.
I've got a good friend who has several presses that I can use. One is a single stage and another one is a progressive (Lee I think). My friend has a lot of experience reloading pistol calibers, but not much with rifles (as far as I know).
Just before the old site went down, I bought Redding Type S bushing dies for my 6.5 Grendel. I've got a couple hundred once fired cases from Hornady. Assuming he has all the generic equipment, what else do I need to buy equipment wise?
I plan on doing 90% target shooting up to 400yds. I might develop loads for hog hunting and whitetail hunting. So, which bullet/powder/primer combo would you reccomend for a starting point?
Lastly, neither one of us has a chronograph. How important is this piece of equipment?
Any advice is also greatly appreciated. Thanks
