If you had $700, what would you get for reloading?

PRIMERS

That answer is heavily dependent on the cartridge(s) and volume you plan to load. I've seen spectacular accuracy results turned out by guys with simple Lee single stage press, beam scale, and a black magic marker but that doesn't make it a good recommendation without more info.

Your choice here. Have at it.

 

[C-130 Dude]

Put more money with it to purchase something that will do a quicker job, to make faster, more accurate.
It's a rabbit hole!

I've dived so deep down that rabbit hole that I can see China. HA ha

 

[C-130 Dude]

That depends on what you currently have. My current project is a larger reloading/ work bench. Looking at 96-72" long and 32" wide w/ 2 single stage Rock Chukers and enough room for all the brass prep tools, scales, etc. and storage for dies, expanders, brass, bullets. One end designated for working on rifles. It will have a vice, gun rest, 3 sided access, tool storage. But that's me.

Your choice, have at. Remember, only $700 available.

 

[C-130 Dude]

Probably a Labradar and all the fixin's

Me too.

(1) 8 lb jug Reloader 26, (1) brick of primers, an (1) box of Berger bullets

Thanks Joe

That's all? Your choice, have at. Remember, only $700 available.

PRIMERS

You won't get squat of primers for 700. Maybe $7000. Enough of this crap already.

 

[Shūtstr8]

8 lbs Varget ($389.99) and the rest on primers ($99 per 1000).

 

[C-130 Dude]

Rough initial layout. Changing one end to be open on 3 sides and adding the vise.

This my bench. Without the gear, around $550.

The question is simple.

What would you get if you had $700 to put into your reloading game. Not guns. Not built ammo. Just reloading gear. This includes components. What say you guys?

Of course, primers first powder projectiles second, but I would get what I need, no matter the cost!

If you have a better half, might want to consider running purchases by. Keep the peace and all..

CPS Primer seater was my last $700.

Today, I would spend $700 on my workspace or maybe case trimming machine.

….or a top shelf 12ga reloader
