..... an early pressie for ya


Re Brands, this becomes a very debateable subject as everyone has had different successes through their reloading career. And as a consequence can be faithfull / biased to particular brands.

If you want quality try and avoid gear that is now made in china but was once manufactured in the US.

Loading for the likes of 7RM you will want as much tool head space as posssible, so be driven by that.

My own personal brand favorites are Redding and Forster, but that doesnt mean I dont have Lee on my bench somewhere. ( Hell a plastic funnel, is a plastic funnel right? )
Lee do some very innovative stuff that I bet a few other companies wish they had copy righted.

The best handheld case prep tool ( to my mind ) is the Lyman case prep multi tool ... you can pick one up for $50 on TM

Do get a beam scale, they are simple and fool proof, never run low on battery, change point of accuracy etc. My own one came from CH and I paid $35 for it in the late '70s Probably over half a weeks wages at the time..... I still remember the cringe as I took the cash from my wallet. But hey they still go, and haven't been superseded by a newer brighter reinvented wheel.
