I want to roll my own...

I use my scale and powder trickler for load development. Once my load data is bracketed, I use the scale to initially calibrate the Hornady powder thrower. After that, I put it away until the next I choose to run a reload session.

I don't shoot in any organized classes, but appreciate that I would re-evaluate my loading practices if I did. Right now, it's all about the gophers.

I don't know that most other presses are "over built" just the Lee ones are underbuilt, as usual, I recommend the Forster Co-ax, a inexpensive elec. scale, RCBS, Lyman, or Redding powder measure, Forster or Redding dies, esp. the Redding Deluxe die sets which include a neck die and a full length die, the Forster set includes a real nice in-line bullet seater. Or you can buy cheap, and in awhile you'll be wondering why you didn't listen to that fathead from Saskatchewan!!

I too did quite a bit of online research and came to the conclusion that a Forster Co-Ax press was the best there is and so that is what I went with. Last week there were 2 of them for sale on the EE. I have used this press with all other brands of die sets and slowly aquired some sets of Forster dies. Love that new neck die in 222.
Like many products in the shooting sports, the more expensive gear is the nicest and there is no upgrading envolved. FS
 
I agree, my research does tell me that the forster co-ax is the very best...
I intend to get one, in fact, I expect to have a few different models for differnt purposes, I like to tinker, I like to have more then I need and expecially like to over do everything.

I picked up a brand new cabellas case vibrator kit and a lyman case cutter

Im into reloading now for close to $500.00 bones...


just need to buy primers, powder and projectiles...

where is the caliber line between small rifle and large rifle ? Im assuming my 30-06 is large rifle, and the 243 I intend to build will be a small rifle ?

does primer brand really mean anything to a guy who only wants to hit an orange at 500 meters ?
