[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1911905, member: 112413"] OK my suggestions if I was starting right now with what I know. Get a decent press RCBS, Mec, Forster, Redding, or Lyman. I would buy forster benchrest dies instead of something else and then moving to them. A two die set is good to start full length and seater die, buy a low cost Lee collet neck die for each caliber, took me years to figure things out for good straight ammo. A good trimmer, either a balance scale or electronic, case prep tools, and powder funnel. Starting out you don't need to break the bank on brass cleaning equipment or powder throws. I started with lee dippers and a small pan to hold powder, throw with the dipper and trickle the last grains in. I lube with STP and an old piece of wool hunting sock, wipe off with paper towels. Piece of 4-0 steel wool to clean good around the neck. You can bookmark noslers reloading info online and buy another loading manual. Good calipers, you'll use a lot. Work up reasonably and then decide what you really want to upgrade, I didn't with a lot of things. [/QUOTE]
