[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1917376, member: 57533"] Firstly don't rush your decision, you will end up buying gear that you may not need & you will soon supersede. Kits are good to start with but once you get to a certain stage you will realise you need part of it & not all of it. I bought a RCBS rockchucker kit to start & all I use now is the press as I want to get more out of my reloading than just average reloads. Imo these are the things you need from the start. A decent press Decent dies(I prefer Redding but Lee collet set will get you going) A good powder scale, forget the cheaper powder throwers & just get a good balance scale & trickler. Calipers Oal gauge Headspace gauges Comparators Chamfing & deburing tool Primer pocket uniformer For case cleaning a cheap Ultrasonic cleaner is a good bit of gear. Mine cost me $40 & I can clean 40 cases at a time which takes 10 minutes. [/QUOTE]
