I bought the lyman set and am very happy with. Bought from Midsouth. Also check e-bay you can find things there too.
At the moment I am waiting for my Dillion square deal press, should be here Tuesday.

I have 4 red presses, but they are made by Lee. When it comes to dies I prefer RCBS. You can spend more, but whether you get more is debateable.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I just bought the Rock Chucker Supreme Kit. Quality for sure. Would be nice if they included a small pair of calipers with it.

Redding T7 or a Dillion 550, if you do mostly strait wall cases go for the Dillion, the Redding is a better universal press, especally if you load any rifle, I have both and feel each has there own high points, but IMHO no lows.

Several companies make nice equipment, I am with Dan on this one I would source it out and probably on the used side. There is lots of nice used reloading supplies available, and most of the bigger companies have good warranties so buying used shouldn't scare you as much.

I just got into reloading this last summer and pieced my kit together off of ebay. I got a dillon press cause I can use it as a turret press, or can change over to progressive to load up a ton of 45acp when needed.

Sure glad I went with it. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Lets me do very accurate hand loads, or can crank out a bunch of plinkin rounds.
