[QUOTE="Duhawk, post: 2072880, member: 63335"] I agree with the comment "buy once, cry once". Good set of calipers (don't have to spend big $$$), powder scale, dies (I like dies with bushings for neck tension), case trimmer and associated tools for case prep and an OAL Gage for starters.....don't know if I forgot something or not....but after you get set-up and used to a routine, quick load to help with tweaking your loads. For me anyway, quick load showed me that going for maximum velocities wasn't the most accurate way to go. Balancing the load to the barrel MS helped me a lot, and also showed where I was at pressure wise as not to blow myself up. JMO....everybody's different.....just start with the basics and it'll eventually grow into an obsession. You've got time to look reviews over on components....may as well take advantage of it till you're actually able to buy powder that's in stock. [/QUOTE]
