[QUOTE="erikblank, post: 1625670, member: 96627"] My father and I shared a Rock Chucker for years. It's over 35 years old and still going strong. It's a great choice and should be all the press you need. It would be my middle of the road choice. Over the years it became inconvenient going to my fathers all the time. I decided to get my own setup. Even though half the equipment at my fathers was mine, I didn't want to leave him high and dry. I didn't have a lot of money at the time, so I went with the Lee kit. For $120 it can't be beat. A lot of people have made a lot of great ammo with these kits. It probably won't last you forever, but you can see if you like reloading and you can upgrade as figure out what you need. This is my bargain basement choice. If you have the money and are committed to reloading no matter what, go with the Forster. I love my Co-Ax. Once set up, it can be very quick and easy to use. The only bad thing is coming from a traditional press, some guys have a problem working with the cases going in the front of the press(opposed to feeding from the side). I never had this problem. Then get yourself a RCBS Chargemaster, a backup scale, a brass prep station, brass trimmer and powder funnel. This is my higher end choice. There's other choices out there that are as good or better. It really comes down to you. If you take the time to learn the equipment. Set it up, triple check everything, everytime. Channel you're inter OCD and work in a distraction free environment. If you can do this, you'll do fine, whatever you choose. If you can't for any reason give a 100% to your reloading, when you set down to do it, DON'T. [/QUOTE]
