[QUOTE="Equalizer, post: 1823050, member: 111343"] I’m my case I bought a Redding kit. It was ok but the trimmer sucked and the case prep stuff was extremely basic but the press, scale & powder measure were great. I replaced the trimmer and got a case prep center (Both Rcbs) The kit is nice because if you get the right one it will have most of what you need to get started. (Sans load blocks, calipers, etc) If you do piece meal it you can get the exact measure or trimmer or whatever you want. Slowly accumulate over time getting the most necessary first. There is no right or wrong just your choice. Single stage press Good scale Powder measure Trimmer Tumbler Case prep stuff Calipers Loading blocks Powder trickler Dies Also there will be accessories/necessities like trimmer pilots and shell holders and the like. Some people like hand primer type tools others use their press. It’s easy to get in over your head and spend a ton but if you boil it down to the essentials and ask around on reloading forums you can probably keep to a decent budget and not end up with stuff you won’t use. I got started loading because of ammo availability (41 Mag wasn’t something you could find easily) and I learned from reading loading manuals myself. Glad to help any way I can. Best of luck to ya [/QUOTE]
