[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 207323, member: 8037"] For hunting ammo, what you are proposing is fine. If you are reloading for accuracy, you will find that other pieces are preferred. My suggestion is that you do your reading and perform searches on the gun forums. Then you will form opinions and develop specific questions. The education will serve you well. When you understand the rudiments and if your interests are in accuracy, read a book on precision reloading. It will put things into perspective for you. At that point you will know what expectations you should have for the equipment. My guess is that the only piece of your chosen equipment on that list will be the ChargeMaster, and this statement is not a derogation of Hornady equipment. While Hornady makes some equipment aimed toward the accuracy market, their primary market is elsewhere. It's no tragedy if you do buy Hornady; their equipment will do the same job as well, but you will probably want better dies (Forster or Redding). My only reservation concerning the Hornady press is that it's aluminum; cast iron makes better presses, both for stability and wear. Plan first, however. Decisions can be no better than the information on which they are based. . [/QUOTE]
