-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What am I missing? On my list I am missing the following:

-Primer Pocket Uniformer
-Flash Hole Unforming Tool
-Check Weights
-Powder Trickler


Any suggestions on these things I know I am missing as far as BEST brand and anything else I may be missing? Looking for quality stuff. I have the funds set aside for it. All the stuff above is PURCHASED already and will be here for the weekend.

I found some H4350 locally so I picked that up and I will get my primers locally too to avoid HAZMAT fees.

I am mostly reloading precision 308 (single stage COAX) and then plinking/combat/training ammo for 556 and 9mm (progressive).

I appreciate your insights in advance.

I am looking at getting an annealer down the road.

Giruard was the way to go! what about a hand primer and a crimp remover? I stick to rcbs due to their customer service. Dealt with them all and rcbs def leads the way in cs.

Caliper
Priming tool
Case lube
Device to weigh powder
Device to throw powder
Shell holders
Debur/chamfer tool as you may not be trimming every time

Something to wash your brass. I like stainless tumbler

Something you may not need to buy: organization tubs/bins. Also a good bench light. And a keep all my odds and ends in a toolbox

Unfortunately it does not give brand specifics on which is better, etc. Which is what I was hoping for.

when we made the list we wanted to avoid the brand x is better than brand y squabbles. 

SINGLE STAGE:


-Dillon Eliminator Beam Scale (got it on the EE at a good price)

Toss in an electronic scale, I never use my RCBS 10-10 scale any more

-Hornady Bullet Puller w/ 308 Collet

This is good for large quantities, the trick to reloading is to avoid a
large number of fuck ups.  So get a kinetic bullet puller

-MTM Loading Tray and Flip Top

OK, I prefer the Dillon, big, massive, heavy



What am I missing? On my list I am missing the following:

-Primer Pocket Uniformer

Never needed one

-Flash Hole Unforming Tool

RCBS Trim Mate head, add the RCBS small and large Trim Mate crimp remover as well

-Check Weights
-Powder Trickler

Never needed these.  My Dillon electronic scale has a calibration mode.  I
calibrate the powder measure and if it throws the same charge 3x in a
row it's set

I would get a case gage from Dillon or Wilson for any caliber you load.
