I am looking at the Redding Boss pro pak , The Le anniversary kit and the RCBS Rock Chucker supreme master kit. Which kit would you recommend for loading a .223 and possibly a 303. And what else would I need to buy other than one of these kits? Would all I need is a set of full length dies?

Thanks
 
A set of FL dies, a Lee case length gage for your calibre, and a set of calipers that measure in 1000's of an inch. The Lee dies will come with some data for your cartridge, but I would also recommend a loading manual like Lee Modern Reloading, Lyman 49th or Speer.
 
i started with the lee anniversary kit, its junk, its works but eventually you will end up replacing almost everything. their dies are good though...

start with something good like rcbs, unless your either broke or cheap then go with the lee.
 
I have a Lee breech lock kit. It works fine, despite what people seem to say.

Buy what you can afford. What ever the kit costs add the cost of dies, tumbler and media, calipers, storage containers, brass, primers, powder and bullets. Reloading books like "ABC if reloading" and data like "lymans reloading manual" are useful.
 
I had started with a Lee setup. I’m currently looking at new equipment to replace it. Wholesale Sports has a Hornaday Lock & Load set for about $340.00 and you can get 500 free bullets with that.
 
Check out the RCBS rockchucker supreme kit from http://www.sinclairintl.com/. I just got mine (not set up yet). I also bought full lenght dies, tumbler with media, shellholders, stuck case remover, primer pocket brush and powder measure stand. Paid around ~&700 shipped to my PO box in about a week. From what I've been told this is what I needed to get started and by just looking at the equipment I'm impressed with the quality.
 
If you go with the Redding Boss pro pack, none of the gear you get will be a compromise. Its all top quality, lifetime use stuff. Most other outfits throw in a POS piece or two in their kits to give the impression of added value. The Redding stuff is all "keeper" quality.
 
I just bought a Redding Big Boss Pro-Pak Deluxe Reloading Kit #4500 from Graf and sons for $419.99 US. They still have more, Redding shows the S.R.P. as $799.50 US.

You'll be a happy camper with that kit. Have Graf ship to you USPS not UPS. You'll get it just as fast and save $$.
 
Reloading Kit.

I have been reloading for 30 years and believe me you cannot go wrong with RCBS.Istarted with a rock chucker and still have it with another one with a piggy back and a 4x4.

They stand behind their product and are only a phone call away when you have problems. Twice now I have had problems with my piggy back with bushings and each time they have sent me the complete over haul kit at no charge.

The coast is a little more but the quality is well worth it.

"...The Redding stuff is all "keeper" quality..." Less expensive than RCBS kit too. Been using a single stage Redding press for eons. All RCBS kit fits(the auto-primer feed etc).
Lee's warrantee isn't as good as either Redding's or RCBS'. Never needed to deal with Redding for warrantee, but RCBS will fix any problems, even if you buy used kit.
