Master Distributors of Lee Precision Reloading Supplies and Equipment

Lee Precision Reloading Supplies

Reloading equipment requires exacting standards to function correctly.Whether you’re a beginner or highly experienced reloader, you’ll find no better line of reloading supplies than Lee Precision (since 1958).

Reloading Basics

If you want to both save 60% (or more) on ammo and shoot 1/2-inch groups at 100 yards, reloading your own ammo is the way to go.

Reloading your own ammo enables accurately controlling the amount of powder for custom rounds matching the needs of your firearm. By controlling the speed of the bullet going through the barrel, you reduce barrel whip for improved accuracy. You don’t have to optimize every round but it’s cool that you can.

This is a general overview of the reloading ammo process that isn’t caliber specific.

  1. Deprime the casing using a reamer to resize or a cleaner tool.
  2. Prime the cartridge using hand tools or integrate it into the first sizing stage .
  3. Add powder (usually with standalone powder measurer or part of a press).
  4. Add a bullet and press/crimp it into the case.

Lee Precision Reloading Supplies and Equipment

As Master Distributors, Titan Reloading carries the full line of Lee Precision Reloading Products. This includes kits, parts, and accessories; along with service and replacement parts.

  • The Lee Breech Lock Challenger 50th Anniversary Kit is suitable for both the beginner and the experienced. You add the appropriate die set(s) for the caliber(s) you will reload. This kit will work for both rifle and pistol cartridges.
  • The Lee Deluxe Challenger Kit 60th Anniversary is perfect for anyone starting out but who wants more than the basics. This includes the best accessories at a lower price than what others charge for a “basic kit.”With this and a set of Lee dies, you’ll never outgrow the kit.
  • The Lee Classic Turret Press Kit and a set of Lee dies is everything you need to begin reloading. This one is fast and convenient when loading handgun cartridges. With some experience, it’s quite possible to reload 250 rounds per hour.

5 Tips for Beginners and Experts about Reloading

reloading equipment

The founding fathers and the brave men who fought the American Revolution were often forced to melt down scrap pieces of lead and forge their own rounds just to be able to survive.
Those same values are what derive a modern reloader to craft their own ammunition today. So, to keep you on that path, here are our 5 best tips and tricks about reloading for both beginners and experts alike.

  1. The Size of Your Workspace Doesn’t Matter

    Space in your home comes at a premium. Some are blessed with large basements and buildings where square footage is no object. Others may only have a studio apartment. Thankfully reloading doesn’t require a large amount of space.
    A reloading bench only needs to be large enough to fit the essentials and wide enough for you to sit behind it. Don’t let a lack of space be the reason you don’t pursue reloading.

  2. Use a Single Stage Press

    One of the biggest mistakes made by beginners is the drive to go out and buy the biggest, the best, and the most expensive equipment on the market. This is akin to buying a Ferrari before you learn to drive.
    A single stage press can handle all your needs as a beginner, and it’s a great place to start your journey. Even experts benefit from these simple presses with many turning to them for high precision loads.

  3. The Scale is Very Important

    When it comes to reloading supplies, the scale for powder measure is the most important component. This is a piece of equipment where quality and price matters. Spend the money to get a high-quality scale. There is no point in the reloading process where you should be as precise as when measuring your powder load.
    Too much, and you have a hot round capable of inflicting damage to both you and the firearm.
    Too little, and you end up with weak loads that will greatly affect your accuracy, range, and efficiency.

  4. Cartridge Gauges

    Nothing will infuriate a firearms enthusiast like rounds that fail to load, fire or eject. In the world of semi-automatics, this is an ever-present threat.
    These handy little tools will ensure that your cartridges are within the extremely tight margins that semi-autos commands to routinely load, fire and eject.
    Even for those of you reloading revolver rounds, ensuring tolerance shouldn’t be an afterthought. Revolvers are more likely to chamber and fire a round that isn’t within specs, but you should be striving for perfection, and that means gauging your rounds.

  5. Ask for Help

    People that reach the top of their fields all get there with help and coaching. Regardless of your skill level, do not be afraid to ask for help or a second opinion. The only way to further your reloading expertise is with practice and help from others.

Reloading supplies can be a maze of products, terminology, and techniques; therefore the expert staff at Titan Reloading is always ready to help.To learn more or inquiries about the multitude of reloading products we carry please visit www.TitanReloading.com or contact us at 262.397.8819.

Basic Reloading Supplies for the Beginner

Reloading Press

One of the first things to consider when thinking about trying your hand at reloading is the list of reloading supplies you’ll need. The following list of supplies will allow you to safely practice reloading ammunition.
Reloading Manual

Reloading Manual

A reloading manual is a must have amongst your reloading supplies. It has instructions for all things concerning caliber, primer, and bullet, and all the various sizes, weights, and types they come in. It is critical to follow these guidelines to the letter. Commit to only using recipes from reputable sources and avoid trying out recipes you find in randomly online.
Cartridge Case Cleaner

Cartridge Case Cleaner

You want your gun to function smoothly and effectively each and every time you fire, which means that everything going into it needs to be as clean as possible. This starts with the brass cartridges you pick up off the range that are covered in dirt or powder. Make sure these are free of debris before you get any farther in the reloading process. You can buy a tumbler or sonic cleaner for conveniently clean cartridges.
Reloading Press

Reloading Press

In essence, a reloading press does what it sounds like it does—presses things together. This includes pushing an old primer out of its brass case, resizing brass to its initial size using a die, pressing fresh primer into the primer pocket, fitting the bullet into its casing, and more. For those just starting, a single stage press will be an affordable option for your list of reloading supplies and a good learning tool.
Die Sets

Die Sets

Dies work with your reloading press to produce different calibers of ammunition. You will need different sets for each caliber you plan on reloading. Dies will allow you to get rid of used primer, refit cartridges to their proper size, open cartridges to push in new bullets, and more.
Powder Scale

Powder Scale

Obtaining a scale to measure your powder is imperative when assembling reloading supplies. For your safety, the proper amount of powder must be used in each cartridge you reload. The measurement for powder is “units of grains” which comes out to be 1/7,000th of a pound—this is not a reference to the individual powder kernels. Measuring by scale offers the greatest precision when reloading. Scales come in electric and traditional models; the latter may serve you best, as it always performs without power.

Once you’ve assembled the basic reloading supplies and become familiar with how to use them efficiently, you can begin to branch out to more specialized equipment to further enhance your reloading hobby.

The Benefits of Reloading Ammunition

Reloading Ammunition

People take up reloading for many different reasons including cost-saving, gun laws, increased accuracy, and simply as a relaxing hobby. Whatever the reason, these benefits can pay off when you decide to reload as opposed to buying. Here are a few:

Cost

Reloading ammunition has proven to be a real cost-saver. One of the most expensive parts of factory-loaded ammunition is the brass casing that holds everything together. These brass casings are completely reusable, which automatically reduces your costs. Why throw it away when you can use it multiple times?

Gun Laws

By reloading your own firearm, you can avoid ever-changing, restrictive gun laws that are often passed locally and statewide. As online purchases of ammunition become more restrictive, purchasing reloading supplies in large amounts can save you money and hassle in the long run.

Increased Accuracy

By having the opportunity to create your own ammunition, you can essentially create your own recipe by trial and error. Ultimately, many people find that with enough experimentation will lead to increased accuracy.

For Fun

For many, ammunition reloading is a craft and a hobby. While there are fundamentals for reloading your firearm, there’s also room to experiment on in order to customize, optimize, and increase accuracy. It can be time-consuming, but also a relaxing hobby given you have patience and time on your hands.

Lastly, it’s important to note the safety of reloading ammunition. Do your research before you start and be sure you’re buying quality reloading supplies. There is a big difference between reloading supplies so choose wisely in order to stay safe.

Why Some Choose to Reload their Own Ammunition

If you enjoy shooting on a regular basis, then you have probably considered the idea of reloading your own ammo.

At Titan Reloading, we specialize is selling high-quality reloading supplies, and we often talk to people that are new to reloading and have taken up the practice of reloading.

Reloading ammo
Here are a few reasons as to why some people find reloading to be advantageous:

Cost Savings

The cost of ammunition can make shooting an expensive hobby. By making your own rounds, it not only saves you money but also the hassle of finding uncommon ammunition.

Performance

When one reloads their own ammo, it gives he or she the ability to work toward a specific velocity, greater accuracy and better yet, greater reliability and consistency; hence the reason why so many professional shooters choose to reload their own ammo.

Supply

The supply of ammunition can often be unpredictable. It is not uncommon for demand to increase quickly, and when this occurs, even the biggest shops can have a hard time maintaining their stock. When you have a reloading kit and the right supplies, you are no longer at the mercy of the market. Instead of going to the store only to find out that what you need has sold out, you have the security that comes with being able to reload your own ammunition.

These are just three of the most common reasons that people give for wanting to do their own reloading. If you want to learn more about what reloading can do for you or get more information about supplies, contact the team at Titan Reloading today 262-397-8819 or visit www.TitanReloading.com.

How to Keep Your Reloading Supplies in Good Condition

Reloading Supplies

It’s one thing to buy the necessary tools and supplies that you need for reloading, but it’s another to keep them safe and in proper condition. This is not a difficult or complicated task, but there are some straightforward guidelines that you need to follow. In this article, we discuss how you can ensure that your reloading supplies stay in good condition over the long term.

  1. Get a dehumidifier

    Humidity is a real killer for reloading supplies. It can lead to corrosion and rusting which is terrible for ammunition and can also represent a safety concern. You should do everything in your power to keep your storage space as dry as possible. One effective way to achieve this is by investing in a dehumidifier. This may seem expensive at first but it can save you money in the long-run, especially when your ammunition will last longer.

  2. Keep the storage space cool

    High temperatures are hazardous for ammunition. You should never leave your reloading supplies inside the car on a summer’s day. Also, avoid leaving them in other confined spaces that tend to get hot. Far safer is to stick to cool rooms that don’t experience large fluctuations in temperature.

  3. Always prioritize safety

    Safety is another important consideration, especially if you have children or pets in your home. Make sure that access to your reloading supplies is strictly controlled. This will prevent damage to your equipment as well as accidents.
