[QUOTE="Lee Goodwin, post: 1878470, member: 107289"] RCBS, the green single stage press. Dies.? Buy the top end ones. It is just a few dollars more. Might as well blow money on case prep, make it as enjoyable as possible. I do a lot of manual case prep and it gets old. Length, shoulder bump and neck prep... Research the best is a must. With the perfectly prepped case(s)... Get a digital scale that has the trickle built in. If you are going to seat pointy plastic tips make sure your dies don't Mar the tips as you seat the bullets...some sets do. So, go ahead and get a crimp die. I hand prime, using Lee, but it is too cheap and the plastic covers break, and I use clothes pins to hold them on...go up in $. I can prime with my press but don't very often. I like to feel the tension as the primer goes into pocket. If it feels loose... Then, get a RCBS collet and bullet puller for each caliber...here a 6.5 Rock on with your rock chucker. I have two, $40 each at a gun store, 100 plus year device. Save the turret press for after you master the single stage press, unless you are high volume shooter, like a hand gunner, shooting hundreds of rounds a month. You are about to embark on an amazing adventure full of knowledge and side tracks and potholes...enjoy the ride. [/QUOTE]
