Default Learning to reload - any takers

I have nothing but bullets,shells, caps, and powder but I would like to learn how to reload for 25-06. I would need your equipment to learn, I have beer and pizza as an incentive. I tried to get the lee reload kit but it doesn't come in my caliber.
I'm in Edmonton and if it works out you can expect some meat in your freezer from me if I'm successful this year.

Thanks for looking

Smile Some help

Here is what I think you need to decide; why do you want to re-load, save money or better ammo?

You won't save money but you will shoot more and may become a very good shot.

It won't take long before you begin to chase the one hole target, that's where the not saving $$ comes in.

There are people here who are experts at this, way beyond my interest or ability, and if you provide more information they may respond.

Do you hunt? Have you shot this rifle? Can you post a target? How good a shot would you say you are? Do you have a convenient place to practice?

If you place a nickel on the barrel of your unloaded gun, can you squeeze the trigger without the nickel falling off?

Welcome to the hobby. You may have to buy the dies that you need first, ask the boys what to buy.

Good on you for doing it. I was going to offer to help but you beat me to it.

To the OP you will have a ball re-loading. It is a great hobby in and of itself.
