Setting up to reload

[jaymark6655]

Lee Precision 50th Anniversary Reloading Kit is $126.79 on Amazon.  At least that is what I went with, I also bought dies, case trimmer, primer pocket reamer (especially useful for crimped primer pockets), bullet puller, a lube pad, and case tray.  I think I spent about $200 to get started for one caliber.  I use the Harbor Freight woodworking bench that birddogdad posted, the setup takes less space than the wooden pegs in the picture so the other half supports whatever other projects I am working on.  When I am not reloading everything but the press and the powder measure goes in two drawers and powder, primers, cases, bullets, and finished rounds go into ammo cans on the shelf underneath.  Now reload for 3 rifle calibers on that press, have not been tempted to upgrade yet.

I recently down sized significantly (W.A. State women's retirement fund)divorce. And was in the market for a new press. Was going to get a rock chucker but ended up with the RCBS partner! It's a smaller version of the rock chucker. Nice solid and small single stage.

For precision I go single stage any manufacturer will do.
Don't skimp on the dies I use bushing dies and micrometer seating dies. Redding, Whidden or Forster are in my opinion some of the best out there.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to go with a single stage and a small work station. Can the same press load for pistol and rifle?

Yea, no problem.

Just add dies
