I would like to get a kit, with most all basic essentials in it. I used to sell RCBS when I worked @ an Outdoor store, but never loaded myself. I am looking for rifle loading, not shotgun.
Which one should I buy? I also know that dies are bought in addition to most kits, but I am clueless on the entire process....kinda funny I used to sell the stuff and sounded like I knew what I was talking about:)
Thanks in advance!

I would also get yourself a flash hole deburring tool, dial caliper, a case tumbler, a powder dribbler, and a primer pocket cleaner. Bob I have those also: her name is Amy. Reloading is a great time for my wife and I to be together without other things going on, like the TV or phones. |

I have to agree with the rest of the guys.The Rockchucker is a great set up.I started with one back in the early seventies,and still have one now.They are great to learn on.If you make a mistake,you don't have that many bullets to pull down.(LOL!)It's going to happen,just be careful,step by step.Also as BW said,the Dillon is as good as it gets for a progressive reloader.Just remember to buy lots of reloading book and study them.They can be had at most gun shows used and cheap.Take your time when you first start out,and enjoy another new hobby.Wayne Johnson

Gotta agree with you guys. Have a Rockchucker and a Dillon. Always use the Rockchucker for developing loads and when only reloading 20 or so rounds. I do think the Lyman reloading or new Nosler manual are good selections to start for the library. Another thing to consider is to keep accurate records of reloads, i.e., powder, wt, bullet, primer, # times cases reloaded, etc.
Good luck with the reloading.

I started with the Lyman crusher kit, but have slowly up graded till most all my reloading tools are Redding. Nothing wrong with RCBS though! Besides the other tools mentioned, i would invest in a runout indicator, it will help you set your dies up & tell you what kind of ammo your assembling.

What's wrong with Redding reloading equipment? I don't think RCBS makes anything, anywhere comparable to the quality of Redding's products (e.g. Ultramag press or competition dies).
