OK, I've read through most of the posts I can find for starting reloading & I just want to verify that I've got things covered.
Also watched Jamz Utube videos. Thanks!
To start with I'll be reloading .223 77gr Sierras for Service Rifle matches. I've been shooting Black Hills Blue Box 77gr at all ranges up until now and I'd like to stick with a similar mag length load to start out. I'll expand from there, but that's my priority at this point.
Currently I have:
Lee single stage set up as a decapping station
Lee hand priming tool
case tumbler
Pact scale
Redding powder measure.
a set of Hornady Dies.
edit to add items I had & forgot to list:
bullet puller
digital calipers
On my to buy list;
Another press - I'm looking at the Redding turret press at the moment but I have also considered the Dillon 550B.
Case trimmer plus reaming & deburring tools
primer pocket reamer (will these also work to remove crimps? I have some mil brass)
case gauge
case lube
Primers (planning on Rem 7 1/2 based on lots of reading)
Powder - From what I've read & gathered from talking with people; either Varget, RE15 or H4895
Just tossing this out there to get some feedback & see if I'm missing something major or if there are any pitfalls I should watch out for.
Thanks,
CD
