    well you could do a lot worse
    set of dies and a shell holder and you will be away laughing
    some rubbish them but the balance beam scales although slow are all you ever need,a set of Lee spoons will speed process up no end.

    What are you thinking you want to reload for?
    Ie one rifle/ calbire?, multi rifle, pistol, etc.....

    Agree with micky duck, Could do alot worse than that kit though. Bloody good guys to deal with to.


    Other hint though, print out (who buys books.... ) load data (not on ipad, iphone, etc) and have it in front of your face, when loading...... And OCD is a good thing for maintaining eyes, nose, teeth, tongue etc......

    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    Yes, they're all good, the advice i got when I bought one was the buy the most expensive kit you can afford, I'm a cheap arse and bought this kit for $199
    I've replaced most things in that kit gradually with much better, but have easily sold each part on trademe for more than I believe they're worth, so only real loss was the frustration of cheaply made components.
    The auto primer sucks, replaced with hand primer
    Powder thrower's fine with some powders, useless with others, but good enough for bulk .223 without weighing each charge.

    for basic reloading for hunting ammunition its going to do the job without any fuss just add better stuff if you feel the need ive gone back to balance scales i dont want to have $500+ tied up scales that could be spent on powder etc and the battery ones were a fukn pain in the arse turning off when you dont want them to
