I'd like to start reloading for .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum and after I'm up to speed, .308 Win. Eventually I will add dies and shellholders for .38/.357, .45ACP and 7.62 X 39...
I'd like to stick with one manufacturer for all the gear, and after hanging out on the sidelines for a few years becoming familiar with the key players, RCBS hits all the right notes (I do realize some of the different brands' tooling may interchange if necessary).
Here is just one of the things I don't know: I like the idea of loading with a single-stage press but would I benefit from (if possible to add it...) a turret?
I'm looking at RCBS' Rock Chucker Supreme Master Single Stage Press Kit and then adding dies and shellholders for the aforementioned calibers. The kit also contains a powder measure, a mechanical scale,
I'll need a brass cleaner, perhaps two types of bullet pullers (mistakes happen)... cartridge storage boxes, labels, etc. I have wrenches, dial calipers... Do I need a brass trimmer for straight-wall pistol caliber brass?
To those who're familiar with RCBS equipment, or to those experienced reloaders regardless of which brand you use, what else should I have ready? Will this Rock Chucker remain suitable for the eventual six total calibers I've posted?
Thanks in advance for any replies, and please forgive any awkward phrasing I might use since I'm so new to the topic.
Some of the potential answers are in a sticked thread here but the info is ten years old; might there be any recent innovations for some of the ancillary equipment? Blah blah blah...
