Over the past 18 months or so, it has become difficult to find certain factory ammunition for my X-Bolt 270WSM (LH). I am also in the process of moving to copper bullets so as to avoid ingesting any lead from harvested meat. This further limits my selection of factory ammunition options.
I have found that some bullets are available as components, but case availability comes and goes more infrequently. I wouldn't know which primers or powders I'd need, etc.
What equipment do I need? I've seen various kits from different companies, but I think I've learned that these might not be the best way to build a proper hand loading tool set that would last. Maybe to much compromise.
Now you have a picture of just how much I don't know and maybe the number of questions I have!
I don't have any fellow shooters that are also hand loading, so I need to learn where to begin. How/Where do I start? (Thank you in advance for not savaging a complete hand loading novice)
