[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1135012, member: 90080"] Welcome to the experience of "rolling your own". You have done well in that you have two manuals. They usually lay out a good basis for getting started along with load data. You can always get help on this site. As far as tools go, I would suggest the following : 1. a vibratory tumble ( cheaper and leaves a little carbon in case neck for consistent bullet release) 2. case neck trimmer, you don't want neck exceeding chamber length. 3. case neck brush to clean excessive carbon from necks. 4. primer pocket cleaner + inside & outside neck reamers, so you get easier bullet seating. 5. Some Hornady tools to measure headspace, base to ogive length and OAL to the lands. Some kits have a few of these tools so that helps. As you go forward, you will add on more advanced tools as you see the need. Keep your dies clean and use a good case lube. Welcome and feel free to PM me for specific recommendations or if you hit a snag. [/QUOTE]
