[QUOTE="RockZ, post: 246821, member: 5750"] I use a Rockchuker ,and Forester dies and have good results, but the Lee products are amazingly good for the money and a good way to start. You will be able load ammo that can shoot 1/2" groups. The Lee 3die set will suit you just fine for now. The most important and often underemphasized item you need is KNOWLEDGE!!!!! Get books on reloading as well as reloading manuals. ABC's of reloading is a good starter book, but "Handloading for Competition" by Zeideker is my favorite and a must read. It is very informative and fun to read, although it's main focus in highpower. But it provides invaluable info on the reloading process and safety! The reloading manual that will work the best for you depends upon the bullets and powders you are shooting. I use alot of Hodgdon powder so I find their manual very helpful . Sierra's manual is very informative and their bullets are usually very easy to shoot well. Read and learn as much as you can, before you load your first rounds. Get very familar with the process. It is not difficult to reload, but it is important to be very organized and systematic. You need to know what you are trying to accomplish and what results to expect. Keep copious notes as well. Of course this is coming from the mindset of a former Navy Pilot. But with reloading as well as flying, a mistake could be very detrimental to your health. Remember, it is alot of fun but--- SAFETY FIRST!! [/QUOTE]
