[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2615879, member: 106845"] I made some lists about two years ago for recommendations on items to get started. Not sure about current availability, price, or if all the links still work but the products should still remain the same at least. I put together a few different lists of reloading items to essentially form a kit of my own creation for those wanting to get into reloading. I made a "basic", "intermediate", and an "advanced" list, along with links and prices and totals. These aren't all inclusive lists, as far as I'm not saying the exact items I've picked are exactly what you should go with. You could obviously pick something else that's similar. My goal was to pick quality items that will produce quality ammo and not be overpriced, and to provide an alternative to all the premade kits out there that tend to be full of items you'll never use or will want to upgrade immediately, or are lacking many other essential items. These are lists intended to get you started. You can upgrade certain pieces of equipment and tools later as you get going down the rabbit hole. In an effort to reduce the size of this post, I'll post each list in a separate post. Hopefully this proves useful. ••Basic Kit •Calipers: $41 [MEDIA=amazon]B00INL0BTS[/MEDIA] •Comparator set: $34 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101273351?pid=231904[/URL] •Press: $81 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1013005426?pid=176078[/URL] •Lee Auto Prime: $22 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690997/lee-safety-prime-small-and-large-primer-feeder[/URL] •Scale: $30 [MEDIA=amazon]B00ESHDGOI[/MEDIA] •Powder funnel: $3 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/b/lee-precision[/URL] •Die Set: $34 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690507/308-winchester-full-length-pacesetter-3-die-set-with-shellholder[/URL] •Bullet puller: $17 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0003802031/deluxe-bullet-puller-with-4-collets-(kinetic)[/URL] •Lee case conditioning kit: $10 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690950/case-conditioning-kit[/URL] •Lee case length gauge: $5 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690139/308-winchester-case-length-gauge-with-shell-holder[/URL] •Case lube: $10 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012714331?pid=204960[/URL] •Reloading trays: $8 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101271299?pid=122368[/URL] Total: $290 [/QUOTE]
