Okay. Let me start out by saying that I'm super broke, and cannot afford a good solid bench press at this time. Please help me out with a few questions about reloading 30.06 rounds.
1. First and foremost, can anyone give me a comprehensive list of reloading equipment at the lowest possible cost for my 30.06?
2. Can I use a simple small hand press to produce these rounds?
3. If I can use a hand press, is there a particular model the would allow me to load more than one caliber (possibly pistol round loading as well)? Or is each hand press meant only for a single caliber?
Being that I am unfortunately unemployed at the moment, time is really not an issue. Even if I can only load 3 to 5 rounds an hour, I would real like to spend the time to learn to load correctly. It's not much, but here is what I currently have in the way of equipment:
1. Barry's tumbler in good shape(I have not purchased and media yet).
2. About 100 pieces of 30.06 once fired Federal brass.
3. About half a pound if Winchester 231 Ball Powder. I don't think I can use this for rifle cartridges- am I wrong?
4. 14 ounces of 700-x smokeless powder. I think this stuff is only for shotguns and pistol rounds- again, am I wrong?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
