[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 984605, member: 63138"] RCrem 700 I started loading back in the early 1960's (under my dad's supervison). He had a Lyman 310 tool. It was like a pair of pliers that you screw a die into. One die for decap/resize, one for expanding, one for priming and one for bullet seating. He also had a cheapie balance beam scale for weighing the powder. We didn't know about (or at least ignored) case length/trimming. We were hunters and didn't shoot all that much so we got away with that. It turns out that there was a lot we didn't know. I would recommend that you read the excellent book "Modern Reloading" by Richard Lee (the guy who started Lee Precision). After you have read the book you will have a much better understanding of how to proceed for the kind of reloading you want to do. I load for accuracy where some load for volume. When I got tired of the Lyman 310 tool, I bought an RCBS Rockchucker. RCBS equipment isn't the fanciest but it works and is easy to find in stock most everywhere - but though it works for me, it may not be the best for you. In summary, get educated then buy the equipment. (I would not buy a reloading kit as kits don't have the best of everything which you can get if you buy individual pieces.) [/QUOTE]
