[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 2760030, member: 106259"] I've been in the game almost as long as ckrckr, started in 1975 with a Lee Benchrest hand loader for my Remington 788 22-250 and Tasco Target scope and shot consistent 1/4 MOA from sandbags. In the '70's I worked at Glen Slades which was one of the largest gun stores in Texas. If you are short on space, nothing beats a good arbor press and a set of Wilson dies and as crkckr said a good bean scale, I use a Redding, these scales are usually cast with open voids and I fill the voids with lead which helps to dampen outside influences. I still use Lee powder scoops which get me close enough to finish a powder charge with a trickler. Hand primers are inexpensive and easy to use. A good caliper for measuring is a must and I use Hornady case measuring tools. If you buy Hornady dies I would buy only the Match series, their standard dies are often weak on tolerances. Try to find an experienced loader in your area and ask him to tutor you for a while, the assurance of a knowledgeable person will go a long way to build confidence that you understand what you're doing, taking no shortcuts and answering questions you don't yet know to ask.
