I want to get into reloading my own stuff, so I will be starting out with nothing. I am planning on buying the RCBS Digital powder measurer and Digital scale as well. I am pretty sure that I want the Rock Chucker Supreme Press. Should I buy the Supreme kit or just the press, since the kit has the manual scale and powder measurer that I won't really need?
I promise you, you will like the manual scale better. I have tried all the digitals and sent them back. They are hard to trickle a load. And yes, when you get up to 80gr loads, you will need to trickle. The digitals are apt for ground noise, which can be bad out west. Bad near dryers or any vibrations. I can throw and trickle a load much faster with a beam. If you worry about precision, buy a calibration set for it of wieghts. My 5-0-5 is dead on.
I like the digital for wieghing wieghts that don't change, like broadheads, and brass, things you are not trying to add too. Also need a kinectic hammer, and trickler. both well worth the money. I have a RCBS hand primer, but would get the lee if it was me.
Well, the trimmer. There's not too many alternatives for a hobbist reloader. Especially if your just loading 20 rounds a week. There is the lee drill bit pilot, but I have seen them not square the mouths well. You got Wilson which is the be most precise, but very slow and tedius. Stick with the RCBS for the time being. I just don't see going out and buying a gracey just starting out until you see how much youwill reload.
