Equipment list for beginner...

[Guest]

After doing some research and having great tips from the forum I have come up with this list of reloading equipment and I would like to read your comments or if you think that I'm missing something critical please let me know.

Are you loading Lead or Jacketed bullets?

 

 

Lyman Reloading Manual #49 is a very good place to start. Read it thoroughly.

You also need the Lee Auto disk riser. In fact pick up like 2 or 3. one for each powder measure.

 

Also, get more than one pro disk powder measure, makes it simple.

 

Lastly, you need the Pro Disk Double disk ugprade.

Jacketed bullets. I'll be buying from Montana Gold Bullets.

This is a great tip.

 

Maks: just added to my list your suggestions. Thank you!

hodgdon.com has a great reloading manual data set.

 

so do the powder companies. Between them, all the data you need is there.

 

For more rare calibers, you need books.

I am thinking about giving reloading a try. I will only reload 308 in the beginning and want to know if this is a good deal (LEE 50th Anniversary Kit). I was also thinking of paying for the year membership to loaddata.com as per Wolfy mention.

Only press that LEE makes that I can whole heartedly recommend is the Classic turret. Others are blah. Anyone is welcome to come and use mine to play with.
