[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 410376, member: 8358"] Plumcrazy, welcome to the forum. It looks like some very good tools to me. If you can start with these tools you will have some of the better stuff on the market, but whether these tools will load better ammo can only be found one way. The only thing I would criticize would be the Lee auto-prime. Their are several different priming tools on the market that don't require a special shell holder for each cartridge case. I use the Lee tool and my S-I-L uses the RCBS primer and his is nice because you can just start priming instead of fussing around with the shell holder. And while I am on this subject, the Lee Auto-prime does not come with the shell holders (at least when I got mine they sold seperately). Also you need to add a good dial or electronic measuring caliper and some loading blocks to hold your cases while in process to your list of must haves. And also, you can load without a powder thrower but it sure wouldn't be handy. I have both the dial/analog and electrinic/digital caliper but prefer the dial style. After you start loading you will find there are some other things that you may want to add at your convenience such as a case tumbler and primer pocket cleaners and maybe some things that have slipped my mind.
