[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1526861, member: 307"] $400 doesn't sound like much of a deal. There's better stuff (read as "new with warranty") to be had for that price, but get just the stuff you need. A press, the dies for "your" rifle(s), a powder scale (mechanical balance beam is fine to start with), necessary shell holder(s), Lee trimmers for your cartridges and a reloading manual, I prefer Nosler. Don't worry about cleaning your cases just yet. If you buy new (good idea) you'll be able to load/shoot and reload them several times before they need cleaning. I would get a couple different powders, bullets and primers to try also. If you have more than one rifle sometimes a powder's burn rate will cover several so keep that in mind also (i.e., IMR4350 shoots good in the 7mmRemMag, .270Win, .243Win and more). That Rock Chucker, by the way, is a great press. :) [/QUOTE]
