Thread: Wannabe reloader - gear advice please

The Lee press and the powder thrower go all right, the scales are shit so just see if you can get the press and powder thrower cheaper than the kit if you're gonna go that way cos you'll throw the scales away anyhow, they actually are pretty accurate they're just painful to use. I've still got my Lee press, and bought another one so I can have two on the go and not dick around changing dies out. Of interest is I decided for no other reason than "it must be better cos it costs more" to upgrade my press to a RCBS rockchucker a few years back and the complete press body cracked and broke right through after very minimal work and a ongoing battle with gun City then ensued trying to have it replaced - I still have it sitting in the box.
Lee dies are cheap and cheerful, they do just as good a job at reloading accurate ammunition as any of the more nicely finished brands do.
