[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1598512, member: 96226"] Tumbler, Scale (Dillon D-Terminator is my jam but RCBS 5-0-5 works very well too), reloading press, die set, chamfer tool, case lube, loading block, funnel. Basic setup. Press: Lee still makes their Anniversary Challenger kit for about 100 bucks. It's not fancy but it'll work well enough. Mine has over 25 years on it. Has basically everything you need but dies. RCBS rockchucker or Lyman or whatever brand single stage press is nicer to use than Lee. Costs more. I use a Lee Challenger, RCBS Rockchucker and Dillon 550B. Scale: subject beat to death. See above. Don't overthink it. Dies: Almost doesn't matter. Lee sets are handy. In non-custom my faves are Hornady and Redding. Chamfer tool: who cares Case lube: 2-4% Lanolin (ebay, nearly free) in 91% isopropyl alcohol, spray bottle. Or, Hornady one-shot or Imperial Sizing Wax. Loading block: An old .45ACP ammo tray from any box of 50rds. Funnel: I prefer the Lee funnel to the RCBS since I can see through it. I would also add to your list a set of Lee powder dippers. They're stupid handy and you'll want to thank me later. [/QUOTE]
