[QUOTE="bstomper, post: 1999041, member: 37250"] I love reloading, even though I haven't been doing it for that long. It will most likely become an obsession, ask me how I know. A word of advice from some one who has just reciently learned and tried to take the cheap easy way into the world of reloading......buy quality stuff, it will save you money and frustration in the end. And buy things that will make the experience more enjoyable. The two best things I bought was the Lyman case prep center and the RCBS chargemaster lite. Total game changer for me. They aren't cheap but IMHO well worth it. I started with the Lee classic turret press thinking that it would be a great press to spit out accurate ammo quickly, not the case for me. I hated that press but having said that I was wanting to make quality long range ammo for my rifles and I don't think that press was made for that. I think it might be a decent press for pistol ammo. I sold it and bought the RCBS rock chucker press and love it. I have no experience with beam scales but lots of guys swear by them. I'm a digital guy. There are some good quality smaller digital scales but they arent cheap either if you want the quality ones. I went through 2 of the moderately priced ones before I decided to get the charge master lite. By the time I bought the 2 scales and the powder trickler, I could have put in a bit more money and just bought the charge master in the first place. The lyman case prep center was another great peice of equipment I bought. The Lee case length gauges fit right onto it and saves the expense of having to buy a dedicated case trimmer. Its a super easy and fast way to get good prepped cases every time. As far as dies go there are lots to choose from, I just happen to like the Hornady ones, They seem to be of good quality and reasonably priced. Like I mentioned I only load for rifle so I have no idea what is involved for pistol. I'm sure you will get lots of ideas and opinions on all sorts of equipment from the wealth of knowledge of the other members here. These are just my experiences, I hope some of it helps [/QUOTE]
