[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1266423, member: 30902"] Just starting out it's best to stick with basics and equipment that isn't the least bit fussy or finicky. The "Lee Pacesetter" dies are the simplest and most bombproof out there, next to them would be hornady. Personally while I have some RCBS dies I absolutely hate their decapper/depriming rods. I hate to think how many of them I have bent and broken over the years. You won't run into that with the Lee. The Lees are also dirt cheap. One thing you can do to save aggravation is to get a universal decapping die to go along with the set. Using one you can punch out your used primers before cleaning and not have to worry about running dirty brass through your resizing/decapping die. That way you tumbe/clean your brass once and don't have to worry about going back to clean out and uniform primer pockets or running them through the tumbler again after punching out the primer. I upgraded recently to the Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler with the steel pins and the universal decapping die and it was worth every penny. [/QUOTE]
