Thrapp Article: 9:28 I was very interested in the recent articles about reloading equipment, but I know very little about even the basics. A few years ago I reloaded some .38/.357 and 7mm Rem. Magnums with a Lee Loader, the type that you pound on with a hammer. I bought a balance type powder scale because it didn't seem to me that the little scoop provided with the Lee Loader could be very accurate. Now I think I may be interested in reloading mainly revolver and automatic handgun rounds. I don't really know what a "progressive reloader" is, although from the articles is seems that it may reload faster than the way I used to do it. Could someone go into more on the basics of reloading? I live in a small apartment and don't have a workbench. Do these progressive reloaders require a bench? Can one buy *small* stands to use them with for a reasonable price? It seems that in the pictures of reloaders some show powder in a tube near the top. Do these measure by volume rather than by weight? Thank you for any information you can provide. ------------------------------------------------------------- Gary R.
