Every reloader should own a Rockchucker press!!
Bi-mart was selling the Rockchucker supreme kit for $260.

I bought the Lee Dippers from EBay, Cabelas has the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Auto Charge Deluxe Reloading Kit for $339.99, A$100 off with 500 free bullets.

If I didn't already have my presses & stuff I'd pick one of these up.

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.
A remarkable experience is one where the pain is forgotten so quickly, the frustrations and struggles are forgotten the minute you’re done.

I can’t wait to do it the next time.

Don't forget a bullet puller. At some point you will need it

I use the Lee dippers when weighing my charge. Makes it faster, and I weigh out each round on the scale. You will love your RCBS loading equipment.

Along with the trimmer you'll need a case length gage to trim to the right length that your reloading manual will have with case dimensions.

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.

you do not need case length gauges! Your rifle will determine what length brass you can shoot. They are all different, every rifle, even the ones of same make and caliber will be different. You can make a tool to measure in your rifle what length cases it will take. Some will be close to book listed trim length and some will take much longer. You can just trim to book listed ctl but some cartrages benefit  from as long of a neck as possible. I measure what the max case lenght it will except and try to keep it .005" shorter. You'll notice just about every rifle you check will accept much longer cases than book trim length.  Jme

I bought a Rockchucker kit in 1988 and never looked back.  It's still chugging away.  You cannot go wrong with that gear.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice
