Free: Contests & Raffles.
Thanks for the feedback. There is just a overwhelming amount of reloading info out on the web and in magazines on gear and brands and preferences you name it. So a powder trickler and a set of calipers will make all my most (basic) level of gear covered?
I don't know if you've considered Hornady, but it's worth comparing to RCBS. I have the Rockchucker but use the adapter so I can use the Lock and Load bushing and Lock rings. I like the design of the Hornady lock rings better and swapping dies with the bushing is faster.
i just bought this same set about a month back. so far i've added a trickler and base for the powder measure(they give you the measure but nothing good to mount it with).i also tried the lee cartridge specific trimmers, so far i like them. i could see spending money on a faster setup but i'm pretty low volume so they work great for me.
I purchased the RCBS rock chucker kit.Extras Purchased.Hornady lock-n-load conversion Kit. (so i could leave dies set up and swap out fast.)Stand for my powder drop.Calipers.Powder Trickler.All Desired Dies.All case holders.Only things left are bullets,primers,and powder and that i will determine after more research.Thanks for everyones input to help me decide on what to get.
Yes, no reason not to use calipers while you are learning. It's user preference on a lot of the addons you can get. I don't have case length gauges, I measure my cases and trim them by hand measuring a few times. It's slower but works fine.
