    Like a few other old timers around here, I've been squirreling away loads of reloading stuff over the last decade. Since I reload for more than 13 calibers there's a pretty good chance I've got something you need. Now it's unlikely that I'd part with primers(at least not for a pleasant price) but other stuff, who knows?

    Feel free to detail requests here. Maybe this could be an open thread for anyone in search in the Austin area.

    I’m new to reloading, don’t currently have the space in my apartment to start reloading, however god & income willing I’ll be moving into a house in June, and plan to start reloading as soon as I’m settled. Would love to chat with some fellow reloaders in Austin

    When I'm in the mood, I really enjoy reloading. Not only because it cost pennies to do it but also one can reload a load for a particular caliber that will make your gun shoot at it's best.

    Agreed Charlie. It's the only way to know the true potential of any gun. Only took me a minute into my reloading journey to find out a gun is only as good as the bullet you put into it.

    Absolutely! What you buy, may or may not shoot well. Hand load different powder amounts and your gun will tell you exactly what it likes for accuracy!

    Well, you might be able to help me out. I recently started reloading .300 blk using H110 powder and my lee auto disk is spilling the fine powder everywhere. I think I need a powder measure of some sorts that works well with small powders like h110 and aa2400.
    Let me know if you have something stashed away and how much would it be.

    You need to get a RCBS Uniflow or other brand like it.
    Lee makes good presses and dies, but most of their reloading accessories leave a lot to desire.

    I have a LEE Perfect Powder Measure and it's ok. It does not like fine powders like H110 though. It leaks.

    I'm with Txhillbilly. Get something like the RCBS Uniflow. I have the Hornady version because it came with my press, and I like it quite a bit. It's sufficiently consistent and it doesn't leak. They're not very expensive and are definitely worth it.

    I like the bench clamp on it... I could always remove it and put it away . Thanks.

    I use it when I'm loading on my single stage press. I use it for all of my rifle rounds and magnum pistol rounds and is consistently within 0.1 grains on CFE223 and H110.
