So i decided to begin reloading. I have been reloading shotgun shells for a while with mec 9000 hydrolics for a while. I'm looking to get into some cheaper rifle reloading for plinking. I was looking at this setup.
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/121744/lee-challenger-breech-lock-single-stage-press-kit?cm_vc=S016176078 So if i buy this what more will i need to purchase other then dies, powders, primers, bullets, and brass. Thanks alot for the help. And yes i realize this is a stupid question. Edit: i plan on reloading mainly .223 and .30-06. Thanks agian |

I started off with almost the same Lee kit. It will work for what you plan on hand loading. The 30-06 is about the limit on what I'd resize with it.
I recommend getting a tumbler. I used a few different ones and this one is the best bang for the buck.(quietest too) Lyman turbo 1200 Also get a set of calipers for measuring case length and such and some sort of trimmer...The Lee trimmers will work and are dirt cheap...eventually you will prolly move up to a better type of trimmer. |

I would recommend get your manuals first. start with ABC'S of reloading. use the tact threads for all info you need. look there before asking. I really like the lee turret press. set all ur dies up on the turret head. no one kit has it all especially lee safety scales are not too popular I have ohaus/rcbs beam scale and digital type.
good luck be safe !

Thanks agian Look at the top of the page in Reloading Tools and Accessories for lists of needed tools for reloading. While up there read all the info up there, and get a copy of ABC's of Reloading. |
