@kayneb gidday. As Max has said have you established why your rifle is shooting poorly? Do you have a moderator and have stored the rifle with this still fixed?
As for what to by. The first thing I’d by is Nathan Fosters reloading book. It gives a good run through of all the brands and a pretty good idea of what to get, what to look out for! See Danny doesn’t get on with his lee reloader but I like mine, could not stand the lee balance beam scales so brought Hornady ones which are much better.
Anyway good luck

not exactly sure why the rifle is shooting off, more than possible that is me although changing to premium ammo has certainly helped.
i did look at changing the scope from a vx-1 but thought it was unlikely and the barrel is practically new condition no mods or anything either.
after moving around the countryside a fair bit with farming i havnt been able to meet anyone who reloads or is a crack shot in my area yet so if i figure if i watch enough YouTube vids and ill figure it out one way or another.
