So I’m just getting into reloading, I just ordered my press and tumbler, I found some smokeless powder, and a reloading guide. I’ve been saving all my brass (9mm, 223/556, 7.5x55 Swiss, and 6.5x52 carcano). Would anyone be willing to sell me primers or dies for any of these?

Primers are the really hard thing to find right now. You should be able to buy the Swiss and Carcano dies, as they aren't in high demand. The 9mm and .223 dies can be had, but you'll be paying a premium right now.
Get yourself a reloading manual to learn the ropes. If you have questions, please ask MDS, but don't use MDS as a substitute for a reloading manual.

Ya, I’ve found some sites that have projectiles, and I have the reloading manual coming today or tomorrow. And I have been reading through some of the other threads as well. Should I get a 4 die set or 3? Does it really matter?

This is the press I ordered as well.

For semi autos, I would get the 4 die sets (bullet crimp). Your bolt guns should be fine without a crimp. (My opinion, others will disagree)
When you start out, use your press as a single stage- focusing on one thing at a time. Once you get comfortable, start using the turret function.

That was what I was thinking of doing, instead of buying a second press I would start real slow then progressively get faster

If you don't have anything to trade, use another thread or start a new one.

Glad to help, but try to keep this for trading.

I was not able to find Carcano dies a month ago and did something else to load them.

If anyone fines 6.5 Carano dies in stock, PM me please
thanks
