[QUOTE="Damascus, post: 759740, member: 57878"] I would recommend the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme reloading kit. It is going for around $280 - $300 right now, and comes with a Rock Chucker Supreme press, one of the sturdiest, toughest presses out there, a hand priming tool - even though the press has its own priming tool where you can seat primers on the downstroke of the ram, however the hand tool gives your much better sensitivity, the model 505 scale - one of the best beam scales out there, a powder funnel, the large RCBS chamfer/deburring tool (there's a smaller .17-.45 cal version, I prefer the larger one), RCBS powder funnel, Case lube kit (case lube pad, case neck brushes - .22 and .30, and a bottle of case lube2), a Speer reloading manual - very nice, second only to the Hornady manual IMHO, a UniFlow powder measure - one of the best, and upgradable to the micrometer adjustment dial and different chambers for different weight ranges, although the one that comes with it does a pretty good job of covering most everything but the tiniest charges, an RCBS hex-key folding tool, ummm, I think that's about it. Everything you need except for powder, primers, bullets, cases, and dies. I bought one of these kits about a month ago, and have loaded several hundred .357, .45 ACP, .223, .308, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua rounds, and I love it. Very stiff, lots of leverage, resizing the magnums are child's play. Also, the press has a removable die bushing that can accept the larger dies, although I'm not sure that you can reload .50 BMG on this press, even though it can accept those large .50 dies (ram stroke and opening may be too small). It is also upgradeable to progressive operation with RCBS' piggyback system. Other good presses I'd recommend are the Redding Big Boss, Hornady LnL, Lyman Crusher II, and RCBS AmmoMaster. Since you mentioned precision rounds, you may want to stick with a single stage press, and not look into turret presses, since I've read that they have more "flex" than singe stage's do... That being said, the Redding T7 at my shop is solid as a rock... Never tried the Lyman T-mag, RCBS turret, or Lee turret. If I were you, I'd pick one of the mentioned reloading kits, but I'd pick one that uses a mechanical beam scale rather than a digital scale... Digi's are nice, but you won't have to worry about a beam scale malfunctioning on you later on.. [/QUOTE]
