don't let anyone tell you that you can't turn out quality ammo using Lee equipment.

I agree with thinkingman, start with something simple like this and move up later if you need to.  :twocents:

The Lee Classic Cast is one of the most solid and reliable presses out there. You can pay a lot more for a press but there are only minute differences in tolerances that few can take advantage of. You can put together some pretty fine loads with relatively inexpensive equipment.

I went with the rcbs kit and upgraded as I needed/chose to.  Still running the rockchucker.  hard to go wrong with rcbs
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!
