[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 367259, member: 18752"] Bare bones: Start by getting and reading a good reloading manual. 1. You need something to take out the old primer. (usually done with a sizing die using a press) 2. You need something to resize your fired case. (a sizing die). 3. You need something to hold the die and move the shell in and out. (usually a reloading press of some sort). 4. You need something to lube your case before you are resize it or it will stick in the die. (usually a case lube pad with case lube, or a spray). 5. You need something to put in the new primer. (Can be a hand tool or a loading press mounted tool.) 6. You need something to measure powder. (can be a scale (most common) or a volume measure (a lee dipper), but, really should be a scale in my opinion). 7. You need something to get the powder into the primed casing (usually a funnel or a drop type powder measure). 8. You something to seat your selected bullet back into the shellcase. (usually a seating die). The above can be accomplished with a single reloading press, a die set, a case lube pad, a scale, and a funnel. This is why you will see many sets with these components in the sets. MOST IMPORTANT is a GOOD CURRENT Reloading Manual. Follow the recommended loads, and stay safe. I am sure the above is missing some things above. Pistol dies generally include an expander die, etc. I just started this list because it was a good question and I hadn't thought about it in a long time. [/QUOTE]
