[QUOTE="Tony Formicola, post: 1912457, member: 103851"] Really, to get started all you need is a press, scale, standard full length die set, case trimmer, dial calipers and some case lube. Learn basic reloading first. For normal deer hunting you may never need to go any further. But as I tell anyone getting started there is literally no limit on equipment and technique in reloading. You can go as far as you want. If you want to buy used stuff the press and case trimmer are good but I would buy new dies unless your getting them from someone you know. If there were one place that I would make an exception upfront and go high quality it would be on the dies. I just find it saves time and components to have dials on seating dies right from the git go. It will make adjusting seating depth much easier when you get in to phase 2 and start looking at jump. At that point you'll need the get your OAL gauge and bullet comparator. But to get started most published data just states a base to tip measurement. [/QUOTE]
