[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1981490, member: 56839"] There was a great forum on this site about ”things we learned and would’ve done differently in reloading” I think there was a consensus which I agree with: buy the tools you will actually use and not necessarily a kit. If I started all over again I’d buy a decent single stage press like the RCBS like the rock checker supreme, a nice powder drop( rcbs, lee quick measurer or my favorite JDS Quick measurer), 2 good digital scales to double check loads, and good dies like forester, RCBS,whitton, Dillon. I never had luck with Lee dies, but their quick trimmer and shell holders are cheap and good. I personally like priming on the press but it’s your choice. Get 2 different loading books, I have hornady and nosler. powders for those rounds you mentioned could all be done with IMR 4350 and imr 4831 good luck with finding powder and primers but that should keep you going. Later you will want to add a way to anneal brass, I use sand annealing with Lee melt pot. And of course chamfer tool and pocket cleaner is always nice. From there start having fun, you will continue buying all kinds of extras [/QUOTE]
