    I just got started last summer and wanted to start out cheap, so I researched quite a bit and heard good things about the Lee Anniversary Reloading kit. Not real high-end stuff, the whole kit cost around $80.00 and the few extras that I bought (digital caliper, case trimmer, loading block, funnels, etc) added about another $100.00. I’m real happy with the setup. I’ve been reloading for my .204 and a buddy’s .243 and we have been printing some real nice groups. I have definitely found out that loading your own is the way to go if you really dig accuracy.

    Eric,
    I have done quite a bit of rifle loading in the past, mainly .270 Win, and 25-06.
    RCBS has an excellent press, and kit, which is pretty reasonable price. Do check out this kit.
    Have fun.
    Jack..

    I’m with Jack… once you get into gettting the best out of your loads you need precise brass preparation and precisely weighed loads etc…
    RCBS is the benchmark of the metallic cartridge reloading business… I have been using RCBS for over 40 years.
