[QUOTE="Danja, post: 504512, member: 32940"] Read Lyman's 49th edition reloading manual a few times, it really breaks down the reloading process in an easy to understand way. RCBS dies and shell holders are fine and yes get the complete sets, should only be two dies for rifle calibers. Another good tool to improve accuracy is Hornady's Concentricity Gauge. This detects run out and also allows you to correct any problem cartridges. Competition Dies are nice (but expensive) because they allow for easy seating depth adjustment and they also seat your bullet nice and straight, which can be seen on your concentricity gauge. You will most likely want to upgrade your scale in the near future. An overall length gauge is another useful tool and isn't expensive. I have found that testing different seating depths has really improved the accuracy in many of my rifles, more so than minor differences in powder charge levels. Another word of advice is to buy your supplies from a local shop that has employees that can give you good advice and tips, this is something you will never get from Midway, Cabelas or Bass Pro. Be Safe and Shoot Straight! [/QUOTE]
