New Handi rifle owner
« on: August 22, 2010, 08:17:45 PM »
I am the new owner of a handi rifle.  I was simply looking for some reloading gear (I'm just getting started in reloading) and a buddy of mine was selling his stuff.  i ended up getting his handi with barrels in .223, 25-06, 30-30, 45-70, .280, 410/20/12, and .50 muzzleloader along with all of his RCBS reloading equipment and dies for all of the calibers.  He also threw in all of the ammo he had which ended up being hundreds of rounds for all of the calibers.  I'm looking forward to trying this thing out.

Looks like about $600 just in extra barrels

Thanks for the welcome.  Bad thing is, I had to go out of town for a few days the day after I got all or this stuff.  I'm new to reloading so that is going to be the big learning curve.  Luckily I know the guy I got the stuff from and have all of his reloading data and it has all been tried in the rifle.  He will also help me get it all set up and running.  It is amazing how I wasn't at all excited about this gun until I got on this website and started reading about them.  you guys have definitely got me interested in the handi and unfortunately I have a low tolerance when it comes to gun addictions.
