RE: what equipment do I need
I highly reccomend the lee anniversary loading kit. It comes with everything you need, sans the dies, powder, primers brass and bullets. I use it and get great accureacy out of it. I only load about 100 a month though. The kit is $68.00 from cabellas and the dies are 19.99 for a 30-06. I reload for 30-06 and .243 and have no complaints. EJ
