[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 410386, member: 4964"] First of welcome! Why not the rock-chucker kit? It seems the most economical. I still load on mine for all my rifles (20 something yrs). I just got another press this past year (Dillon 550) for straight wall stuff. I would recommend getting a good solid foundation on whatever you do decide to go with. You certainly have picked some quality components. IMHO most any press will work the secret is in the details. (trimming, turning, de-burring, flash hole attn., case segregation etc.) Find someone local that loads and WATCH, take notes, ask questions, then watch again. I am old school and don't trust the digital and agree about the lee prime. I use the RCBS hand primer (no special shell holders). You might want to add a trickler. I find with longer grain stuff, It can be a real sanity saver. I set my Lyman 55 to throw a little short and then creep up on my weight with my redding trickler. You don't need it for ball stuff, and most would argue that a 10th of a grain makes no discernible difference. I would disagree....Maybe it's my OCD!!!!!. Most important no question is stupid when reloading! If you are unsure ask someone who knows! These guys are great on here and will help you with most anything. [/QUOTE]
