I wouldn't buy "The list" as it was posted in the above link. But, I do like the idea of making an equipment list, based on the jobs to be done. My suggestions would be to........... Get a hold of some books (or check the Internet) about re-loading and READ. Get a mentor and/or go to classes that might be held by the local gun shop or gun club. LEARN the processes that one must go through in order to produce a round of ammunition. Get an idea of how certain jobs are done and take notes of the choices available to do the job. The list will be individual to the person. Buy the equipment needed to accomplish the job, at a price that YOU can afford. More than likely, there will be some amount of compromise involved. I suggest that you LEARN re-loading on a single station press. 
Anyway.........start thinking............
Note that: The list above can be shortened or lengthened. Remember, there is more than one way to skin a cat. There are many other tools that one can purchase to do other specific jobs. It's up to YOU to choose which tools you need and which tools you want. Some tools are there to make a job simpler and some are there to hopefully make you "better" ammunition..........though, was the purchase absolutely necessary? Choose wisely. Aloha, Mark |
You forgot the most important thing. |
Oh yeah, a Dillon

| I plan on upgrading to a dillion some time in the near future. But I have no intention of getting rid of my single stage press. I say start with the single stage. But depending on how smart you think you are a progressive isn't a bad idea if you plan on doing alot of high volume reloading. You Tube has alot of good videos of the reloading process and certain pieces of equipment so that may help you justify what you need. I started out reloading to gain accuracy out of my .270 and loaded maybe 200-300 rounds that first year. The single stage worked just fine and really have no need for anything more for that caliber. Now that I have an AR the perspectives of my reloading have changed and I am constantly looking ways to increase my throughput with out going progressive until I can afford to. |
No, not a Dillon. |
