[QUOTE="Comanche41, post: 2935366, member: 118547"] Here is my experience from this past year. I have been reloading since probably around 1967, but I really got an education when I started trying to get a very quiet and accurate subsonic load for 300 blk.. [B]Advice, spend your money on the best brass and bullets and save yourself a lot of wasted time and expense trying to make other stuff work.[/B] I first spent (wasted) a lot of time and money converting brass. I then bought new Hornady and Starline brass that I still had to weigh, sort, uniform the flash holes, trim, etc. costing time and cost of tools to do it with. Usually, I would only get about 50-60% of the new brass that was consistent enough to use. Then I finally sprung for some Norma brass and that was a turning point. So, what I have that I use now: Press, your choice. Dies, your choice. I use the FL sizing die w/o expander. Expander mandrel die w/ carbide mandrel. Decapping tools, your choice. Polisher Trim too and deburring/chamfer tool, your choice. Scale for weighing bullets and brass. Powder scale, your choice. Priming tool, your choice. Powder thrower. Calipers, I like dial. All I can think of right now. Get good brass and bullets and go to town. [/QUOTE]
