Thread: Long time shooter.. virgin reloader looking for advice

I'm like @lau lau in that I use the press and powder thrower as they work fine for my needs currently. Having said that at some point I will get a nice big chunky press and relegate the Lee to a depriming station (to keep the nice press clean) and will one day treat myself to an autotrickler powder dispenser setup. As others have said if you do any sort of volume the scales will get irritating quickly.

This subject has been discussed in depth many times - search the forum but via Google to get the best results. It can be summarised briefly as a) buy the Lee kit and dies, it does the job for low volume and you have everything, or b) if you have the luxury of time and a reloading mentor/gear provider just buy a really good press and beam scales (off here perhaps) and then beg, borrow/steal/add bits as you learn and you won't need to upgrade.

Welcome to the rabbit hole!
