[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 286573, member: 8037"] You need to start by reading some reloading manuals. The Lyman book is highly recommended, as are the Hornady and Speer. If you shoot a particular brand of bullet, be sure and acquire that company's manual. DVD's and higher level books are available. If you do not have a general knowledge of the types of equipment available, "The ABC's of Reloading" will give a broad overview. The following is a basic list of the better equipment: Redding Big Boss, T-7 turret, or Forster Co-Ax press - your choice Redding and/or Forster dies, Hornady lock rings RCBS ChargeMaster Combo powder measure/scale Wilson trimmer RCBS Universal or Lee AutoPrime hand-held priming tool Lee primer pocket cleaner or Sinclair primer-pocket uniformer VLD inside chamfering tool Dial caliper - cheap Imperial sizing wax Sinclair has good accessories and gauges - get a catalog A good beam scale (RCBS 502, 505, 10-10) and trickler (Redding) with a set of Lee dippers will serve in lieu of of the Chargemaster Combo if you wish to hold off on that investment. A mechanical powder measure is not recommended for extruded rifle powders. If you eventually decide to go progressive for handgun loading, look at the Hornady AP. It has an excellent powder measure. Research your individual equipment choices; there's a lot of info in forum threads. . [/QUOTE]
