    I'll keep saving up the .38/.357 mag brass at the range, when I get enough saved up for you Joe, I'll gladly send some more your way, right now I don't have enough to be any real help to you, but I'll keep stock-piling. ;)

    After reading this thread I headed out and picked up a .223 Lee Loader Kit from Cabela's today (yes all my buddies told me to spend the extra money to get a press :) ) but I figured if I liked it it was only $27 instead of over $100 to get the Hand Press and the casts. So I got home and started going through my brass bin and popping any primer I could and realized that I have a few hundred cases for my .40. Anyone willing to sell a hand press for less than $30? (yes I did see Post 6 but since it wasn't to me and wasn't sure if the offer was/is still on the table I didn't want to presume ;) ). I can already tell this reloading thing is going to be as bad for me as shooting turned out to be when I started that last year :D

    Heh, and just to clarify, for the "reading this thread" I was referring to the kick off of the Lee Loader kit entry point into reloading, not all the free stuff :D

    Guys, you have also passed this skill to the next generation. I was telling Maddie about this and asked her if she would be interested in participating and assisting and she was thrilled about it.

    Send me your addy and I can send off some bullets. I bought 1K 148 grn dewc and It will take me forever to use them all.
    I can send some .357 brass too if you ned it.

    Looking over the thread, looks like Joe still needs a scale. Anyone?

    Hell he is loading 38 paper punch ammo. Any one have a extra lee .3 or .5 dipper?

    I have a .5 but looking at the load data sheet that comes with Lee Dies for .38/.357 the .3 is what he really needs. The .5 don't work with the common powders we all use for .38/.357, 148 & 158 grn bullets.

    I have an extra Lee hand primer system I'm sending.

    Thats awsom Jim. I have a lee dipper .5 to send him. the .5 works with .357 common powders well. If anyone has a .3 that would be perfect. If anyone has a working scale that would be even better.

    I'm digging around in my shop trying to find the dipper now. Stay tuned....
