Thread: Looking at reloading, what do I need?

I have a lee press, it works pretty well, my rockchucker cracked right through the frame, been replaced but I cant be bothered swapping them back over, lee scales etc are bloody terrible though!
To start basic reloading you need:

A Press

Some dies and shell holder

A GOOD balance beam scale (rcbs etc)

Powder thrower, not necessary for small volume stuff, but a powder trickler is bloody good, I weigh every load and trickle it up to weight as im only loading my hunting ammo and sometimes a few for a gong session so I don't mind the extra time it takes

A powder funnel

Good calipers

Case prep tools, just a chamfer tool will suffice for a start

Some decent case lube, lee stuff is terrible, I use "Unique"

A hand primer tool, or press addition to prime

That would get you going, you can add and subtract from there.
