[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2354375, member: 102254"] My advice is to buy quality tools and use them for a lifetime. I prefer RCBS presses and dies since that's what most used in the last century. I still use my "chucker" for the "grunt work", sizing, etc. I have added a MEC precision press that I only use to seat projectiles. LEE does offer some fine products, although I do not care for the lock rings. I prefer their dies for my handguns primarily because I like their factory crimp die. The shell holder as part of the die package is another plus. You do need a really good reliably accurate scale and a good manual. I started with a Lyman D-7 that I still use during load development. I paid $17 in the early '70s and it still works well. A caveat for all tooling is to take care of the tools, dies, etc and they will serve you well. I do use an RCBS chargemaster once the load development is complete, it does speed up the process. Once again, buy quality once and ask questions from trusted sources. Wish we had forums like this when I was a neophyte but in those days, most "gun" stores had at least one season reloader on staff. Components will be your challenge and there is no quick fix for this. Over the years, I developed the habitat of buying primers and powder every time I went to a gun shop. Eventually this to will be fixed but remember, over the past several years the number of new firearm buyers has exploded in number.
