I want to start reloading so I can feed my 300 Blackout. I'll be buying the 300 BLK brass. Never reloaded but get the process. What's a solid press for a Newb? What about the safest priming tool?

Good place to buy brass and bullets? Powder and primer I'll get local.

If you were closer to Dawsonville I'd tell you to come over to the house and I'd walk you thru it. There are more steps to reloading rifle than there are to reloading pistol.

You'll need sizing aND seating dies, a trimmer of some sort, a way to measure powder, a debur and chamfer tool. As far as a hand primer goes ...rcbs works good for me

I think @cru9 had a reloading setup for sale some time ago. Not sure if he still has it or not. May be worth looking into

I'm just getting set up to reload 300blk. Just waiting on a slotted case gauge. Guess I should get started on my upper.

How fast can you reload 500 rounds of 300 BLK with the 650?

Do you sell your reloads?

I'm just getting set up for 300. Been making my own brass, but I haven't loaded any yet. I make my test loads on my 550. Once I have a load I like, I set the 650 up for it. Haven't done any rifle rounds on the 650 yet, but I can do about 6-700/hr on my pistol calibers.
