I was very interested in the recent articles about reloading
equipment, but I know very little about even the basics.
A few years ago I reloaded some .38/.357 and 7mm Rem. Magnums
with a Lee Loader, the type that you pound on with a hammer.
I bought a balance type powder scale because it didn't seem
to me that the little scoop provided with the Lee Loader could
be very accurate. Now I think I may be interested in reloading
mainly revolver and automatic handgun rounds. I don't
really know what a "progressive reloader" is, although from
the articles is seems that it may reload faster than the
way I used to do it. Could someone go into more on the basics
of reloading? I live in a small apartment and don't have a
workbench. Do these progressive reloaders require a bench?
Can one buy *small* stands to use them with for a reasonable
price? It seems that in the pictures of reloaders
some show powder in a tube near the top. Do these measure
by volume rather than by weight? Thank you for any information
you can provide.
