I am new to reloading. Can y'all check my list and make recommendations.
Rock Chucker Press Chargemaster Thrower with Scales Frankfort Tumbler Kit RCBS universal Hand Primer. Possum Hollow 223 and 308 Trimmer Possum Hollow Power Adapter Possum Hollow Primer Pocket Uniformer Wilson Chamfer and Deburring Tool Dies for 223 and 308 (please recommend brand) I saw a thread that had a poll at the top that showed the most popular but can't find it. Universal Decapping Die (I plan to build a Wet tumbler and use SS media eventually so want to be able to deprime before I tumble) I plan to eventually buy a bench top drill press but for now will use a corded or cordless hand drill for the case prep. I know I will need misc items like loading blocks, powder funnels and such. Any recommendations on this stuff would be appreciated. I have looked at the RCBS Supreme Deluxe Kit at Cabela's that would have the majority of the items listed and replace all the case prep stuff with RCBS. Any thoughts on just going that route would be appreciated. I would then just have to have Dies, and a tumbler to get started. I could add the power drive to the case trimmer to use a drill and eventually buy the motor that goes with it. I have digital calipers. I also plan on ordering the ABC's of reloading and at least one or maybe two manuals. Sorry this is long but I am going crazy looking at all the different options and had thought about going with a Dillon 550 but decided I want to start with a single stage. |
| I just did the RCBS Cabelas kit a few months ago. It was my first time ever reloading and that particular kit made it nice. I added the RCBS tumbler as well. Its only been a few months but I love my setup. The electric scale and chargemaster make perfect powder charges just about dummy proof. I also chose to not get the electric trimmer and had plans to upgrade it later on, but I use the cordless drill method and it works great. If I were to start over the only thing I would do differently would be to get a wet tumbler. |

But didn't know if it was worth saving the few dollars. The main reason I looked at the possum hollow stuff is it seems to get good reviews and thought it might me faster. |
