[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 180056, member: 12"] Pretty good advice so far. Only thing to add is this Buy a very good large solid press that will last a lifetime, ie RCBS Rockchucker for example, the smaller ones are cheaper, less power, will get loose and you will regret it later. Same thing for the balance beam scale, buy a good one such as the RCBS 10-10 Both new will run over $100-150 each but can be bought much cheaper on ebay, the 10-10 will sell for around $30 and the rockchucker around $50. Buy a set of Lee dippers $10 and you can load as fast as almost any system out there and more accurate than the new automatic systems. I know tried them all and sold all of them. Buy the powder measure later and off ebay used again for 25% of retail price. Dies, buy quality such as Hornady Custom, forester Bonanza BR, and Redding. Sorry guys not a Lee fan on dies or aluminum presses. BH [/QUOTE]
