New to reloading

[Blue Ridge Hunter]

Ok Ive done alot of reading on here, mostly kits ant recommended, I'll only be reloading for 3-4 calibers, but I want a kit I can grow into, not out of. RCBS® Rock Chucker Supreme Deluxe Reloading Kit with Nosler® No. 7 Reloading Manual and RCBS Trim Pro 2 Case Trimmer : Cabela's by adding just a couple thing I believe this kit is what I would like to get, unless yall could recommend something else

Good choice, but make sure the kit has SS version of calipers - either digital or dial your preference, also, you might want to look into Lymans case prep kit - includes most every had tool you will need, excepting a screwdriver and pair of pliers.

I got the Lee classic turret kit because it was cheap and I have been adding things as I need them now that I know more what I want. I really like the Lee quick change turret I reload 2 calibers soon to add a 3rd with the quick change turret I can leave each caliber completely set up just swap turrets and it's ready to go in a few seconds.

Yep, put me on the Lee Bandwagon. Still using it decades later.

More I've looked, I think I'll buy separate, I like looks of the Lee classic turret press, look very convenient. How bout the charge master?

before you get any turret what calbers are going to load for?
Lee has a classic cast kit that will out live you. Dies will be needed and a trimmer mandrel for specific calibers. After you get used to reloading you can find other toys to do the job.
Right now I would not recommend any electronic powder measure. But if you go with a lee kit (or not), get yourself a second scale.
I use the lee safty scale and the hornady digital for back up / and accuracy checks
And get another manual, always cross reference all loads.

Proably just 6.5 creedmoor and 22-250 for now????? When u say trimmer, are talking about something like the rcbs trim pro 2 ?

Received a rock chucker for my 12th birthday and most of the related handloading tools of the time. Now handloading for over 100 calibers have added a pact electronic scale and continue to use that original Rock chucker 45yrs later

I am still using the Rockchucker kit I started with, and have added a few toys over the years from auctions, including a Lyman power trimmer and an RCBS power case prep center. Been very pleased with it all.

I think you'll be happier in the end if you build your own kit. I was looking at my Lee classic kit tonight and the onlu things out of it that I'm still using is the Press the reloading manual which I really like and the scale which I am in the process of upgrading.

I have been using a Lee Classic Cast press for about ten years now. Periodically I have used a Rock Chucker when out of town loading at buddies houses. I lean towards the Lee, but you will not go wrong with either. They both come in kits. With the Lee you should eventually step up and buy a better beam scale. I use an old Lyman Ohaus D7.
