[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1547960, member: 90080"] Hornady headspace and bullet comparators are a must for accurate and consistent measurements. Pair them with quality digital and manual calipers, the best you can afford. As was mentioned, quality brass will save you money in the long run. Lapua, ADG, Norma and Nosler come to mind. For dies and presses, I like Redding and Forester. Great products and good customer service. For powder throwing, I use the RCBS Chargemaster, but use a high quality scale to get .02 gr accuracy on charge weights. There's quite a few dollars difference in available scales, depending on what your budget will allow. The best electronic scales and most popular are the A&D FX 120i @ $600. Balance scales are much cheaper. You'll also need deburring and chamfer tools, primer seating tools, a case trimmer, case lube, a brass tumbler & media and a chronograph to monitor your loads as you learn. It's probably more stuff than you had figured on, but it's a great hobby, though can be expensive. Good Luck to your new venture. [/QUOTE]
