[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1431186, member: 1656"] Bare basics: Press Dies (expander ball type is fine) Good caliper Comparator for OAL to ogive Comparator to measure shoulder placement Chamfer tool Brass trimmer Scale (highly recommend Chargemaster or similar) Loading block(s) Priming tool I would never go back to manually throwing charges. A lot of people will tell you a Chargemaster is not accurate enough, you have to measure concentricity...weigh brass/bullets...IMHO if you are not shooting benchrest forget about it. I took 3rd in a competition to 2000 yards last year with Chargemaster thrown charges and no special prep, my vertical was no worse than the guys who are competitive in F-class... Yes in 1000 yard F-class they were a bit tighter, if you care about a couple points you need to do it at that level but a game animal will never notice. I have yet to have a well-built rifle I could not get down to .3-.4 MOA with handloads.. [/QUOTE]
