[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2955905, member: 101791"] You'll need componments for reloading. Primers, Powder, Cases, Bullets. The Primers are going to be the hardest acquire. All the reloading equipment in the world doesn't do you any good unless you have the above mention items. There all kinds of equipment to purchases. Most good and some better. Rockchuckers are good a press. I have had one from almost from the time they started building them. it's a single stage press. If you break one you had to work very hard to do that. What Dmagna said about equipment needed is right on. Those items are needed at the start, or that how I feel. I would look at a bushing die for sizing. You can measure up what the neck O.D. is after firing your case in your rifle. Will need to know what the I.D. is also. you'll want to size the neck to 2 to 3 thousand under you bullet size. Which should be 308 caliber. Under size the neck to .305 or 6 I.D. Being you probably won't be cutting necks for even thickness at this time. So I would get and expander mandrel setup that will work in your press. That will push all the irregulars to the outside of the neck. Need for better accuratic. Back to the bushing die. You can change the size that the neck is being changing the bushing. So that will save down the road for another sizing die for bushing. A little more to start with, but in the long run it will be cheaper. Some other equipment. Imperial Wax for lube, brushing for cleaning the necks. Primer pocket uniformer and cleaner. A decapping die only to deprimer the case to start with. It doesn't sizes the case but nocks out the primer so you clean them. WARNING: You have now enter the rabbit hole. It's deep too!😁 [/QUOTE]
