[QUOTE="WRG, post: 265106, member: 13638"] For the calibers you have listed I would use the RBCS Rock Ckucker Supreme IV. I would also get the kit as it comes with the charge master 1500 which can't be beat for measuring powders. I have found the kit for around $600 and has enough to get you going. The charge master is $324 along and worth it. The RC Supreme is $140 along. So the kit is a good deal. As for dies, some would have you believe that it all depends on what you be will hand loading for i.e, hunting, punching paper. I myself feel that doesn't matter! I use the best because let's face it accuracy is accuracy and thats why I hand load. I use RCBS competition dies or Redding comp dies. I even use some custom dies that I have made for a couple of calibers. I just fire form a few cases and send them with my dies out to have them made. Case prep is probably the most important step in the process so I wouldn't skimp here. I don't use any one manufactures product but a verity. It all depends on what I'm trying to accomplish in a desired step in the process. Some companies products work better than others and because there is a lot to case prep when done correctly that should be asked on a case by case basis. There are two companies I mostly use when buying new equipment or supplies, Cabela's & MIDWAYUSA. They usually have anything I need and their prices can't be beat or I will try the manufacture. When I buy powders or primers I use a local gun shop because of the additional $20 - $25 hazardous handling fee you pay for having it shipped. They spread out this cost to all customers so you really don't feel it. So you may ask, How much does it cost for accuracy? I have nearly $3,500 invested in equipment to hand load for 7 different calibers which are .308, 7mm, 25-06, 44 mag "rifle", 45-70, 338 WM. [/QUOTE]
