[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1625188, member: 40852"] For rifle cartridges I've been using a Rockchucker I bought in the 70's. I still don't understand what all the hype is over the CoAx press these days. If your interested in making accurate ammo in low quantities I would say you can skip the powder dispenser. You will need some sort of scale. A beam scale will work. Other things I think are important is a Dial Caliper, some way to trim case length, a funnel, case lube (Imperial DieWax applied with fingers), primer seater (you can likely use the press for that), neck brush, Neck Chamfer tool, On the fired case I use fine steel wool on the outside of the neck and a neck brush on the inside. I then lube the case and resize it. Then I wipe the lube off. Next check the case length and trim if needed. If trimmed, chamfer the neck inside and out. Clean out the primer pocket. Now your ready to load........ Seat a primer. Weigh out a powder charge and drop into a case. Seat a bullet to the desired length. Your done! [/QUOTE]
