[QUOTE="Cobramach1, post: 1266084, member: 11774"] Valleysnyper, everyone is giving you great advice as to the dies. you only need a 2 die set (full length sizing die/bullet seating die). Additional dies aren't going to give you more accuracy, they're just a different way of doing things. No need to purchase a stuck case remover now either. I didn't get a stuck case till 18 years into reloading so not a necessity at this point for you. A stuck case is often, but not always, because you weren't paying attention to the details. It would be best to find someone local to you to show you the ins/outs of the process, however, if you follow the instructions in a reloading manual and be vigilant in the process you will be successful at this. If you can't find anyone and you get stuck, ask your question here and plenty of folks will be glad to help. You're already starting out with much better equipment than I had when I started out.
