[QUOTE="rotorhead, post: 166038, member: 5078"] specweldtom has it right your going to get alot of different opinions. He also gave you very very good advice. buy a hand loading book first and foremost. I think the Sierra reloading manual is one of the best. it is detailed and there is a lot of information on the ins and outs along with some ballistic information. As far as equipment, well thats anybodys call. I personally like redding presses and I like there balance scale, I like Dillons elec. scale and RCBS has what I think is one of the best priming bench top tools. I like most anything forester makes I guess the question is will you settle for wal-mart tools or do you prefer snap-on, the wal-mart tools work but your going to get a bloody knuckle along the way. I like tools to do what they are supposed to not what they should do. I just happen to feel the Redding presses are the better press but the forester co-ax is a fine press as well but has its limitations on how long of a cartridge your trying to load. I load custom loads for a handful of people around the country and this is what I use; Redding turret press and an ultrmag press for making unique brass redding balance scale RCBS bench priming tool Redding micro case trimmer Dillon elec scale for sorting. forester DBT set up for chamfer and deburr work sinclair runout tool sinclair neck thinkness guage sinclair flash hole deburr tool and redding and forester dies all micro seaters. Now for my opinion on value Redding sells the boss and bigboss kits I'm not sure about the boss press because I have never used one but the bigboss press is a good press and they sell it in a kit with mostly what you will need to reload. I'm farely certian that they run about 300.00 but the press should last a long time. Hop[e this helps but go get a book first. Rh [/QUOTE]
