i've decided since i bought my AR that ammo gets expensive.. so i have been collecting my spent brass for the past year. so i have been snooping around ebay finding loaders, i want to keep it cheap and basic for now. i have rcbs dies for .223 and 9mm that i got on ebay for $30 for both. now i need a press.

here is one i found. what else will i need with it to load?
rcbs jr2

thanks!

congrates on the decision. I agree with what was mentioned above. If you can, have a fellow friend/shooting buddy thats expierencd in reloading help you get started. Lots of stuff to learn, have fun, be safe....but be fare warn,d...its addictive
