[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2405762, member: 95344"] As other's have said if hunting in California you'll need to shoot lead free bullets. I believe Tikka 7mm RM barrel twist rate is 1-9.5" so you'll have to stick with bullets with that suggest twist rate range. I started out with a progressive press but a single stage would serve you well, if not better. No worries though if you get a single stage press you can always use the progressive for brass prep. A digital scale isn't too expensive but a good beam scale for grains is fine. I have both digital and beam. Search garage sales for extra gear and get on So Cal firearms forums for extra gear. I'd go to the local used bool stores, there was a larger one in Glendale or Burbank and look for used load manauls. They are a good surce for reloading instruction. Get on youtube and look up RCBS reloading videos to start. I'd keep an eye out for pig hunting in California. But it's been over 20 years since I hunted down there at Tejon Ranch so I don't know what the cost or opportunity is like now. Have fun!!! [/QUOTE]
