[QUOTE="Equalizer, post: 1825679, member: 111343"] Or obsessed more likely lol. I have continually accumulated tools but other than the trimmer I’ve not had to replace any. Good replies here. I think you have a plan now. Get a quality single stage press a great powder measure a good beam scale w/trickler Good trimmer Tumbler Best dies you can afford Good calipers Load blocks Components Misc Ammo boxes *Choose one bolt gun and develop a load for it and go from there. Probably the one you’re most familiar with. This may take more than one bullet or powder combination. The trick is to only change one variable at a time. Once you have developed a good load in one gun you can can pretty much load for any gun. Keep the brass separated in plastic ammo boxes so you have a way to keep track of how many times fired/trimmed etc. Also it’s critical to have/keep a log and junk in = junk out so take good notes. Keep the AP for the semi auto stuff after you get some experience and you will be able to put it to good use. I really like my Redding press, scale and powder measure (& dies) but I’m sure there are others that are equivalent or possibly better. Of course you may want to do the auto dispenser or some variation of equipment but just trying to give you a good idea of what to look into gear wise and a couple tips. Do some research!! [/QUOTE]
