[QUOTE="justinp61, post: 2234468, member: 35795"] I think I'm close to having "enough". I only load for two calibers, 22-250 and 260 Remington and have micrometer seating dies for both, a bushing full length sizing die for the 260. Nor being a high volume shooter I use a old Rockchucker, a 5-0-5 scale I bought in the early 90's and a old RCBS powder measure. I have the tools to measure all the critical dimensions needed fro where I'm currently at. My rifles are Savages with the exception of my mdl 70 in 30-06 that I bought when I was in high school in 1977. Being a LH shooter and shooting RH guns all my life I decided I wanted a couple LH rifles. In the end I bought a LH mdl 11 in 308 and rebarreled it with a Shilen SS Select match in 22-250. Then I bought a mdl 10 LH action and installed a Shilen SS Select Match 260 barrel, have yet to work up loads for it and still have a little work to do on the 250. While working on loads for the 250 I was having problems with inconsistent shoulder bump so I built a annealing box using a propane torch and a rechargeable drill. It works well enough for who it's for and the volume I do. I've also bought a couple used Leupold scopes that I like. My heavy barrel Savage mdl 12 FVSS 22-250 has a 6.5-20, SF, 30mm tube with a Varmint hunter reticle and I wanted one for the lighter mdl 11. I found one on another forum, the same guy had another 6.5-20 with the same reticle only it was a 1" tube with adjustable objective. I bought it for my Anschutz 1712 .22 rimfire. With the three calibers I have I'm good for anything I'm going to hunt so I'm good on CF rifles, I do have a weak heart for Winchester 52's though, LOL. Most of my reloading stuff was bought used and if I find a full length bushing die for the 250 at a reasonable price I may buy it. Other than that I can't think of anything that I can't live without.................... for now. [/QUOTE]
