    Trying To Help New Shooter Into Reloading

    as the title says i am trying to help this young person get into reloading. he wants to start loading for the 30/06 and the 9mm. i have already given him my old and not used any more just was collecting dust RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center and 2 sets of dies the Lee Collet and the Lee F/L dies. he lives in a apartment in Oregon so his space will be limited. so if any one here has any reloading stuff that they no longer use i know he will appreciate it. as of now he has only what i have sent him. you can PM me and i will give you his mailing address and you can send it straight to him. TIA.

    Nothing to spare in the way of tools, but I can part with a couple handfuls of sized/polished brass and/or some 124gn RN powder coated bullets for his 9mm.

    Probably have a good amount of some 150ish grain 30 cal bullets that are just going to get remelted if he doesn't want them. Also, if I can find the can, I have a large amount of 30-06 brass ( mixed headstamp) that is just collecting dust here. PM me the address and I'll start to put together a goodie box.

    9mm can be troublesome to work out with cast bullets unless they are HARD. PM me the address .

    I may have an extra 38 M-die with proper expander for 9mm case expansion.

    I'll see if I have a partial box of .355 FMJ left. If so, I'll send them to him with some 9mm brass.

    Couldn't find any 30-06 brass. Threw a couple hundred 270 win in a box. He can just run them threw a 30-06 sizing die. Also put about 8 lbs of 155 and 170 30 cal bullets sized at .309. Decent accuracy, Something to atlas play with. I usually use them in a 300 blackout AR.

    Hope he enjoys it

    Rick459 RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center and 2 sets of dies the Lee Collet and the Lee F/L dies {what caliber are the dies? I'm guessing both 30-06}
    Daloper Lee scale
    sureYnot 124gn RN powder coated bullets for his 9mm
    Smk Shoe some 150ish grain 30 cal bullets a couple hundred 270 win in a box. He can just run them threw a 30-06 sizing die. Also put about 8 lbs of 155 and 170 30 cal bullets sized at .309.
    BK7saum 38 M-die with proper expander for 9mm case expansion
    RKJ 9mm brass If he needs any. I could send 500 easy.
    Grmps powder trickler , a pound of BE and some primers Lg rifle, Sm pistol. I can come up with an old Pacific press (only a large primer attachment) if he doesn't have one, and some case lube

    It would help if we knew what he had.

    I don't have any load manuals I can part with right now but if anyone does, it wouldn't be wrong to send him a book or three.
