I am looking into reloading for the same reason every other red-blooded American is these days. I am afraid of the stupid things that our newly elected govt. is going to do to us. I want safe reliable, reasonably priced ammo and the ability to reuse my ammo.
ANYWAY . . . . .:banghead:
I have spent the last two weeks reading everything I can online, watching youtube how-to videos, and pricing and comparing equipment.
When I get into something, I really dig into it.
I want to do it right, and learn it correctly and thoroughly.
So I joined up here as well. . . . here is my first question and my second post.
I am looking at beginner "start-up packages" that include most all of the stuff to start right away. I have nothing, except for a couple RCBS dies I bought so my friend can reload some of my hunting rounds. . . so I will need all the startup stuff. . . .
I have been reading up on different brands etc. And talking to my reloading friends.
I am not one of those people who can spend all my money just to say I have the best reloader. . . big whoop.
I want a dependable reloader that will load around 100 rounds a month in a couple different cartridge sizes. I don't want stuff that "sort of works", will "get me by" or will break!
I have decided against a fully auto-progressive type loader based strictly on the price of them. I want a turret type loader. So I can be precise and do a lot of hunting rounds as well as punch out some plinkers for my AR15/10
Will the Lee Deluxe 4 Hole Turret Press Kit with Auto Index (cost $145.98) do that for me or not?
Will the RCBS TURRET DELUXE RELOADING KIT(cost $354.99) do it $200 BETTER than the lee kit? Is it that much better or is it a brand thing?
Is it more of a Ford has always been better designed than Chevy thing . . . or more of a Colt v. Armalite thing, Colt is better because it has a pony on the side, not a lion. . . .
I have looked at the Dillon 550b, and the rock chuckers and I think I am leaning toward one of these two aforementioned presses. (unless someone can recommend a better or middle ground press KIT to me)
I am open to all opinions, qualified or not.
Thanks.
