Thread: Buyers guide for reloading, Newbie Loader

I havnt read anything above so don't hold it against me.

A press - don't get a hand loader you will regret it. Any cheap press will do but a nice one is nicer
Dies - any dies available for your calibre will do - Full Length Sizer and Seating die are the two must haves, neck die optional
Case Lube - Just save yourself the time and hassle and get Redding Sizing wax and some Redding graphite and media
Case Prep tools - Chamfer (any will do as long as it does inside and outside) - some form of case length cutter (the lee one that goes in the drill is fine). Primer pocket cleaner optional
I would look at the Hornady Comparator kit for getting good consistent seating depths, it screws onto a set of verniers and can come with most projectile diameters although not 6.5 from memory.

Then its projectiles, brass and primers. Get the best brass you can, Federal primers are good and cheap.

I would use YouTube to learn the process rather than reading a book but that's just me.
