7STW reloading

[IndianaMatt]

I reloaded years ago with my grandfather and a little over the years on my own. Not enough to consider my self good at it. I have an older Lee press kit that was handed down to me. I also have an RCBS chargemaster and Summit press.

I need to know what other tools are absolutely necessary for now?

For components I have powder (IMR 7977 and RL22). I have bullets. I have 3 different brands of brass available to me- Winchester, Remington, and Bertram. Which should I choose?

Does anyone have load data with said powder they would like to share? I am looking to shoot 140's for now.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed in Indiana

There's a separate forum just for the 7stw (yes, we're special) with hundreds of comments. I believe several were using 7977 but nut sure on bullet weight. I think you can search on 7977 within that forum and pull up all relevant posts.
