Well, I've been meaning to reload for quite some time. I struck up a conversation with my neighbor about seating depths etc as I'm having Unknown Munitions send a ladder test for my 300 Win Mag. It ended up with him gifting me this RCBS A2 press. Cleaned it up, looks great!

So now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to enjoy reloading or not. I will be reloading spent brass for magnum cartridges. If I do enjoy it I'll be reloading my 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC.

What I do have...
- Lending me an RCBS Chargemaster 1500
- Lending me reloading books
- Calipers
- Hornady OAL
- Hornady Comparator
- ADG Brass, Berger 215 Hybrid Targets, Federal 215M, H1000

a friend gave me the same one or maybe the one before I looked up the patten number and it was from the mid 50’s but looks exactly the same. With him doing the ladder test just find one the gun likes and repeat it, if you have all that stuff available It’s easier to jump right in. I’m using the same press, brass, primer powder and bullets. Looks like you have everything you need to get going man enjoy
