What Lever Straight Wall Caliber?

Ammunition has always been expensive, and reloading makes many calibers financially viable but will require time and money.

Yeah but for something like this a Lee Loader is perfect and super low cost investment. If you don’t find joy in reloading then you toss the $35 lee loader up for Karma and call it a day. If you do enjoy it you can invest the rest of your life and half of the food budget on reloading like most of us do.

Cheapest I'd go is a lee breech lok for like 60 bucks or something.

I mean I've had mine for 10 years or more and it still works great. Or find some used setups and probably get a better deal with all the dies and stuff.

I've talked to some old guys at the club that are getting out of it and they will just give you stuff most of the time. I will be that guy someday if my kids don't want it.

I want to be a member at your club

Yeah if you can find that type of deal it’s the way to go. Usually 357 dies are cheap and plentiful if you don’t mind an old used set.

I started with a Lee Loader in 44 magnum about 50 years ago. It worked but was quite slow.

I will probably go with a single stage like
the rock chucker I had many years ago.

The reality is that my hunting days are probably behind me. Each year I hunt less and less. This year I have been out twice for two afternoon hunts. Maybe 6 hours. My back is shot and it just isn’t worth the pain anymore to me so maybe I need a new hobby after all.

Thanks to all that have posted this far.

These hammer loaders are some of the dumbest things that Lee makes because the market for them is the first time reloader who thinks they've found a life hack by skinflinting on getting real reloading equipment (that works FAR better) and IDK anyone who uses these whack-a-mole reloading kits who actually enjoys using them. The cheap Lee single stages (hand press or C frame and even the new-ish APP press) are all a lot faster and quieter (wife will complain less) to use. For straight wall cases they're absolutely perfect for first time reloaders.

The hand press was my first press and while I've gotten better over the years, I still use it regularly.

I have no experience Bear hunting.

However, MA hunting regulations allow using a revolver in .357mag or larger for part of the season. If 357 coming out of a revolver barrel can humanly kill a black bear, wouldn’t the same round out of a 16” rifle barrel making twice the velocity be considered effective?
If I were bear hunting, I’d want to use a 35rem or 30-30. But going by all-wise MA wildlife regulations I would assume 357mag from a rifle will work fine.

A 357 will kill a black bear.

So what you’re telling me is you made too much noise reloading and your wife who wears the pants told you to stop reloading because it made a lot more noise than your white dude’s for Kamala podcast

A 357 will kill a black bear.

Definitely. A 357 with a 180 grain bullet traveling over 1800 ft./s is damn close to a 30–30.
Close enough, where a black bear isn’t going to know the difference

I would like to see how some people reload.

Even my 750, reloading at a fast pace doesn't make much noise. The only noise is the case feeder.

Reloading without a case feeder is very quiet. Reloading on a single stage generates almost no noise.

If you eliminated bear hunting the .357
