[QUOTE="billm67, post: 1147808, member: 29756"] I am partial to an RCBS rock chucker press. Track down a used Rock Chucker...it will save you money and you will never wear it out. I am using the press my father bought in 1975. And I will probably give it to my son someday. Being able to load ammo that is better than factory ammo is more about your process and care in crafting the ammo than the equipment. I like to use a hand priming tool as it allows you to really feel that the primers are seated uniformly. If you are just starting out...I would suggest buying a good electronic scale, a powder measure and a powder trickler. I like to throw the charge a half a grain or so light and then use the trickler and the scale to finish the powder charge to the exact weight. I have Sierra, Hornady and Nosler manuals and I often consult the IMR/Hodgdon web site as well. It would be good if you have a buddy to walk you through the process and help you get everything set up. The best thing about reloading is being able to really tailor the loads development to you precise needs. Stay away from max loads until you really have your process down. [/QUOTE]
