[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 780250, member: 14340"] "Big disclaimer - there is a lot of Hornady stuff that I hate. I am not endorsing their kit so much as saying it contains mostly stuff you will need/will use over the longer term. Any of the major manufacturers who have a similar kit (without frilly BS items) will probably work equally well. I am not a "brand X is awesome and all other brands suck" guy. My bench is now so frickin colorful now it looks like a clown orgy." I can not believe I am saying this but "CLOWN ORGY" is the best term to describe a good reloading station. Research the press and scale of each kit individually before you buy. These are the most significant and expensive items to replace or upgrade so if you can get "good enough" on both those you can upgrade the little stuff rather painlessly as you go if you want to. That should be easy for the press maybe not so easy for the scale. There are some individual things that will come up no matter what. For instance: I can not use the little chamfer tools from these kits, they kill my hands and cramp my knuckles so I need the big handled old man version. [/QUOTE]
