Default RE: needed equip

For shotshells there are few presses better or more affordable than MEC.

I reloaded shotshells as a kid (because it was the only way dad could afford to take me and my brother to the trap range), and we had a MEC press that worked great and was easy to use. I don't reload shotshells anymore because for me there is no economy in it. I do reload metallic cartridges, and I've been VERY happy with my RCBS Rockchucker Supreme. I bought the Master Kit, along with dies and a few other little things, and it works very well. Lee makes cheap equipment that will do the job. Most of it isn't fancy, but it works. It's my personal opinion that it is a waste of money to skimp from the start, only to spend twice as much later to make up for an unwise purchase the first time. Buy a Rockchucker now and you'll be happy for years. Buy an el Cheapo Lee press, and in a month you'll wish you had just bought the RCBS to begin with.

Good luck,

Mike
