Best piece of reloading of equipment u have

[Remmy700]

Yep, a good press-mounted collet style bullet puller is worth every penny. I knew I was forgetting to add something to the list. That's what it was. I use the RCBS 9440 puller. Works amazing.

If u do it right the first time u don't need to pull bullets! Lol

Wow, I wish I made more money!

Naw man just go down to the local pay day loan spot! They will give u the money!

Not necessarily for own depth adjustment screwups, but I used to pull bullets from mystery ammo I'd find at the range, and ammo that was given to me when I worked at the machine-gun range ammo plant. Any sort of screwed up ammo was normally tossed in the trash, and one man's trash became another man's treasure, when I would save it all in a big bin, and bring it home, and then on the weekends I'd watch TV and deconstruct the ammo, chunk the crappy FMJ bullets in the trash, dump the mystery powder in a bin (for proper destruction later), and pop out the incorrectly seated, crushed, or upside down primers, and salvage the good Lake City 5.56, .300 BLK, and 7.62x51 brass to use for my own guns. I know some might say, "Why do all that when that stuff is cheap..." Well, the short-answer to that is, because FREE is even cheaper and when you're getting a 100+ a day, it makes it worth it.

Gotcha makes sense. I don't own a bullet puller and have never pulled any bullets before. But I typically make small batches of ammo. Might need to invest in one!

My kegorator belly would probably knock me out of the high end modeling money

I don't want to add up all the $ invested but those things allow me to spend less time reloading while also letting me feel that things are repeatable and consistent.

DITTO! And add 4 Dillon 1050's for loading large volume for Varmit hunting and competition (9mm, 38 Supercomp, 45 ACP, 308, 223, 40)

Us dedicated reloaders that have been reloading for a good many years have been through some equipment, or atleast I have. Things that work, things that don't and if u are like me u have wasted plenty of money experimenting finding that perfect process. If u look at all the equipment u currently have or have had what is the best piece of equipment that has really improved the quality and accuracy of your reloads? Pay attention new guys that are starting out maybe u can save yourself some money!

I've just recently had that sick feeling you get when you think you've wasted money and every time you use it there's no confidence. That's how I feel about buying a Hornady lock and load press. Way to many moving parts with the bushings. I really need a simple press I can feel good about, any recommendations?
