[QUOTE="BuckyFan69, post: 780270, member: 61782"] +1 to Varmint's post with the exception that I have a Lee press, powder dump and scale. They work perfectly fine. I'll tell you straight out DO NOT get the Lee challenger press. It's Junk! Cam over is horrific and it flexes when sizing larger cases. The classic cast, on the other hand, is as good as any single stage out there. You're going to need a trimmer as well and I used the Lee trimmers for years. A little time consuming but inexpensive and they work fine. Honestly you don't really "need" a powder dump. Use a small plastic measuring spoon to put powder on the scale pan and finish with a trickler. After a few times you can visually gauge to within a grain. Get a good press and calipers, a scale, case prep tools and components. for $200 you can be set up to load. Other things can be added as your budget/needs see fit. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we all were newbies at one time and most of us here are willing to help if we can. Good luck and welcome to the club! [/QUOTE]
