[QUOTE="Captain1967, post: 1742051, member: 53906"] [ATTACH=full]155419[/ATTACH] Congrats on your hunt. I was able to take a Black Grey Wolf in area 3 in the wilderness area southwest of Cody, WY. Premium ammunition is not cheap by any means. Your initial investment will cost some $$$ but you will have control of your loads and will get the best accuracy. I would start out with a single stage press first. More accurate than most progressives. I use my progressive press mainly for pistol reloading and necking down in stages wildcat cartridges like the 7mm-300WM and 6.5-06. This is what I have and use: RCBS Rockchucker single stage press(you can purchase this as a kit) Black Friday is coming up might see some good deals. Hornady lock-in-load auto progressive press (look for sales). Got mine for $319.00 Black Friday of course a few years ago. RCBS Chargemaster lite (works very well it was on sale at Natchez for $199.99) also have a mechanical RCBS 5-0-5 scale and separate digital scale. Dandy 2 speed electric powder trickler (for precise powder charges) or an empty 270 case works well Hornady bullet comparator and insert set I shoot a lot of long range (hunting and steel) so I prefer Redding competition or match dies (type “s” neck bushing and some full length) ($$$) But have also use RCBS and Hornady dies For pistol dies I use RCBS. Lee. Hornady Decapping dies (Redding) I have both a dry tumbler and wet tumbler (prefer wet) RCBS hand priming tools. (2 one set up for large primers and one for small primers) RCBS Trim Pro Lyman case prep station Annealeez case Annealer Calipers (dial and digital) Hornady or Dillon case lube spray Reloading manuals. (Berger. Sierra. Hornady. Nosler) The annual Hodgdon reloading magazine. MTM case guard loading trays (like these the best - cartridges don’t seem tip over very easy) I’ve probably forgot some things and I have upgraded over the last couple of years. Good luck and Have fun. Congrats again on a successful hunt. [/QUOTE]
