[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 3062525, member: 73596"] Need comparators for both headspace and bullet seating, a bullet puller, and something to anneal cases with. A plumbers torch tip and a 1lb can of propane (I like the yellow Mapp gas). Everything else looks good. If you are just getting started, following the directions that come with the dies would seem to make sense, but leaves a lot of accuracy and case life on the table. Similarly, seating bullets to a C.O.A.L. isn't really the best approach either. In the case of both type comparators, you are learning.much more about the process and how to control key things using these tools than simply stroking the brass in the dies. I think they are a much. Annealing is a must as is it insures that all the work you put into properly sizing brass takes hold and minimizes spring-back when sizing. Bullet puller is a must as it is the safest way to extract any rounds that you might suspect a possible problem with, and/or if you're doing pressure tests to find velocity nodes, it is best to have a safe means to pull bullets from cases that might have too much pressure.
