I didn't see a scale in there, but they are readily available and reasonably priced.
How is the availability and pricing on primers, powder and projectiles over there?

Scale is there: under the chamfer tool. In any case I may look at lab supplies: they will have the very accurate digital scales down to fractions of a gram. Perhaps an option for the future.
I can buy non explosive stuff, ie cases and bullets from anywhere without need of my licence. I only need my document for the powder and primers.
Bullets: locally I've only found a 240gr SJSP, or 240gr FMJ at €0.19 a piece for the .44, but I can probably get it cheaper if I buy 500 at a time: that will last me ages! I could order other types from Midway Germany too.
Ideally, I want to cast, as it really would save a fortune, but that is for next year: let's first see if I can reload without blowing my garage up...
Powder: pretty much the ony brand I have seen on sale is VihtaVuori, from Finland. It is listed in the Lyman manual. I need powders N110, N320 and N350 for .44Mag, .44 Spl and .38Spl respectively. The 110 costs about €85 for a Kg (2.2lbs). The others cost twice that!!
Primers: Remington Large Pistol Primers: they are on sale for €7 per hundred.
For cases, it is actually cheaper for me to buy 100 factory loads and shoot them, than the buy 100 starline from Midway, so I'm buying the last stock of a local shop: once bought and shot I'll have 250 Sellier Bellot .44 mag cases which should last me a while!
