[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1601349, member: 12995"] That's a good kit to get you started. Buy a good set of dies. I like Redding, but I have tons of RCBS dies that work great, too. Getting your basics down is important, then as your knowledge progresses, step up, like adding a micrometer seating stem for your seating die. Get yourself a good set of calipers (don't go cheap). I use the Starrett 799A. Also, get a Hornady comparator set to measure from base to ogive, instead of measuring COAL. I love my RCBS Chargemaster 1500 scale. It's pricey, but worth it, IMO. Especially when loading in any sort of large volume. It's very easy to get within the .1 and .2 grain measurements. Do yourself a favor, and get a Mighty Armory Magnum decapping die (universal). It will make cleaning your cases easier when you decap the spent primers before sonic cleaning.
