[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1982579, member: 114381"] The first thing you need to ask yourself, are you reloading or handloading? What are your objectives? Save money, availability, accuracy, hobby, etc? Then go from there. For me all about handloading + little of everything else, but the end goal is a highly accurate, customized, repeatable hunting round for every gun I have and game I hunt. For some guns, I just use factory ammo if those results/bullet selection are adequate. Also, if you’re not a detailed kind of person that can handle repeated tasks, this may not be for you. Now back to your original question... Single stage for rifle handloading - I liked the RCBS kit for around $300+ another $200-300 min in stuff you need that doesn’t come in the kit . You’ll eventually sell/store a bunch of the stuff if you get serious or start valuing your reloading time. For reloading for high volume (.223, match shooting, etc.), get a progressive press. Until you tell us what cartridges you plan to load for, it’s impossible to recommend any specific powders. Also don’t spend a lot of money on bullets until you see what shoots good in your gun.
