thinking its time to start reloading.
« on: December 19, 2016, 05:17:49 PM »
Ive decided i need to start reloading. I'm told its way more accurate and cheaper...Once you have everything. So i was wondering what press everyone uses. Minded i don't want to break the bank,however i don't way cheap either. Recommendation appreciated.

It would be for my 7mm mag,if you needed to know.

Thanks.

I run a RCBS rock chucker for all my rifle stuff and a Hornady Lock-n-load for all my pistol stuff.  My RCBS is over 30 years old and still going strong.  For the 7 mag I would just pick up a Rock chucker supreme kit and get started.  You will also most likely need a case trimmer if you are reusing cases as they stretch each time they are resized.  Oh and a set of calipers and don't forget your dies.

I use the hornady classic.  The quick change inserts are nice for switching out dies.

I just got a new press because years ago I gave my brother my reloading gear, I now have a Dillon but I think I am going to grab a single stage press too.

Another vote for RCBS , watch Cabela's around the holiday they usually have the rock chucker supreme kit cheap. Comes with everything except dies , calipers  and consumables.
Anyone that thinks a Glock is better than a 1911 paints his toenails.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Yep you start reloading because it's cheaper and pretty soon you have a closet full of premium components and tools. It's a natural progression.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Reloading to save money is like hunting because it saves on the grocery bill.  :chuckle:  it does have its benefits though
