[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2959186, member: 25190"] Things people have recommended that I would skip in your situation: Ogive measuring tool. Since you are shooting 300WM and hybrid 215s you are going to load them to magazine length. Just measure the oal of the ones you presently have and duplicate those. Micrometer seating die. Sort of same thing, I really don’t think you will need it since you’ve got a ton of freebore and you can just fiddle with a regular die to get your bullets short enough to fit in the magazine. Collett dies, neck dies, bushing dies. These things have their place but minimally sizing brass has its drawbacks for a beginner. Plus the cost of all this stuff adds up. Definitely do get- decapping die, imperial wax My favorite luxury item is my rcbs bench mounted priming tool. I can’t believe I did it with the hand tool before. Chargemaster scale is a close second. Mandrels are pretty nice I wish I had gotten into those earlier. You should be shopping for components before you even worry about the tools because if you can’t find powder and primers the tools aren’t going to be much good to you. [/QUOTE]
