76, that should get you going. Positive you'll add and upgrade like most of us as your reloading progresses.
 
Ty!! I am sure I will also, so much of this it seems you really don't know some things until you start doing it!

If there are any items that y'all think would be nice for me to add let me know and I will put it on my list of things to get over time!!

Thanks for all the help! Really have enjoyed this forum!!
 
76, happy your taking the reloading plung!!! Lots to learn, had a 300 BEE (Weatherby) in a 24 inch Vangard synthic ,sold it to my 1st cousin have all my notes, 165 Barnes x bullets worked great on elk and deer less recoil , just something to think on ,enjoy your Quest , Cheers !!!
 
I have the Nosler manual coming...thinking about also getting the Hornady one also.....is there much difference between them all

They vary a bit, I find the Hornady a little conservative on the powder use/velocities.

I would recomment to have at least 3 to see what is a good starting point, I have Nosler, Sierra and Hornady, Speer info is available online.
 
Get both the Hornady bullet and cartridge comparator set and good calipers. Don't over work your brass and use all that freebore to find your best accuracy
 
don't forget powder funnels, the Saturn caliber specific ones from Precision Reloading are great.I don't care for the RCBS plastic funnel.you will love the RCBS warranty if you need it
