What size scale (how many grain capacity) do I need to reload. Probably a broad question, but I'm planning on reloading 9mm, .45 ACP, and .308 WIN.

It varies greatly depending on cartridge, bullet, and how fast you want the bullet to go.
There is a bunch of free info on the net, but I use a hornady book with a bunch of load tables in it. There is no "correct" amount of powder to load in any given cartridge, just dont exceed the maximum or load so weak that your action will not cycle.
Also just an FYI, it really isnt economical to reload 9mm at this time. I looked into it but after crunching the numbers, you really dont save any money.Originally posted by lincolnboyComment

I just picked up a lymans reloading manual. So that has some great info in it. I don't have it with me and I was looking online at some scales. Thanks for the input guys.04 2.6 KB'd Cobra!

The key is volume purchases. You can half expenses in large quantities. I want to do some big bulk buys after I assemble a small reloading army on dfwmustangs. .45 ACP, .223, and .308 bulk buys."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I'm down with that sickness, even if it's just to horde materials.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! hehComment

X2, you might have to throw some 9mm in there too. Only problem is that I'm in Virginia, lol. I just looked at 9mm ammo and the cheapest I found it was around 200 bucks, plus shipping per thousand. There is no way that it would cost that much to reload 1000 rounds, that is saying that you already have the brass.Originally posted by Yale View Post04 2.6 KB'd Cobra!
