[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2616391, member: 78163"] I tried reading all the other posts so I did not duplicate one, lots of good tactical suggestions. I would suggest assuming your budget is not limitless you need to determine the constraints. Unlimited budget is fast reloading as low as .25 MOA if everything else is up to it. A lot of the difference between the cheaper and more expensive equipment plus all the bells and whistles has to do with speed and accuracy. If you want the ultimate in accuracy just make sure you, your gun, your bench setup, your chrono and your budget for reloading supplies is up to it as the reloading equipment wont' fix those things (though some of the equipment suggested does allow you to improve results with less expensive bullets and brass). To draw the extreme, if you were interested in cheap ammo at low volume I think Lee still makes a thing called the Lee Loader. I am not suggesting this just using it as an example of how simple it can be if you are not prioritizing accuracy and speed. Buy once, cry once is a great philosophy but not always practical when starting from scratch. I've been reloading for over 30 years, part of what I like about it is I am always learning somethign new. Even if you buy the best today, tomorrow something will be better. Sorry that my post is more philosophical than practical but I thought it might be worth pointing out. Likely a sign of my age :) JB [/QUOTE]
