RE: Advice for a Newbie
A Lee "O" style reloading kit is the cheapest price although an RCBS Rockchucker kit is better quality and it comes with a better powder measurer. My Lee press has has hundreds of rounds through it, as large as 300 H&H Magnum and it still works great. Lee also makes a "Classic Cast Press" made out of cast iron. You're suppose to be able to load 50 BMG with the thing, although any other caliber will work too. It justa has to do with how much money you want to spend. If you do get the Lee kit, chuck the plastic powder measurer and get an RCBS or Lyman. Stick type powder will work with a Lee measurer, but flake type will leak out of the mechanism onto your work bench. Also, the plastic construction of the Lee measurer creates alot of static, making your powder stick to EVERYTHING! Good luck!
