Here is another good source for supplies, dies, and presses.
They are out of 450 Bushmaster Dies right now but the price is okay.

Note that Hornady is now including the Bushmaster 450 in their Lock ' n Load promotion. Last year they would send out BM 450's, but you had to call and ask for them, because they were not part of the regular promotion. I guess that they had enough requests, that they decided to include them this year. I think this forum had something to do with that.

You bet, you have no idea how effective a contact can be, and how much more effective is it when a bunch of guys call??..

i have been tinkering with the idea of reloading as well but im not sure on the case prep. only texas sheepdawg has mentioned anything about it and it was just a blurb and didnt go in any specifics. whats all involved in this?

Search the forum for case prep; there are several posts in older threads. Short answer for me was to go with a case tumbler that I got from Franklin Armory. They have a kit with tumbler, media, case cleaner liquid, and a separator to recover the brass for about $70. I tumble for about 3 hours before I decap. Some people wash their brass,some prep after recapping, some use different media - personal preference based on experience, I suppose. Check out youtube.
