RE: Mossey's List
I guess there's only so many things that can go on a "Basic Needs" list......... looks like it's pretty complete for what it is intended to be...
Unless someone has objections, it probably should be moved forward, huh?? |

RE: Mossey's List
I just made up my list but its all pretty well covered here already. I use drop tubes for some calibers but mostly for black powder. I use the lee dipper sets for hunting loads. I use a Lee turret press for mst pistol loads. I have a Lee 1000 Progressive I use for combat pisto loads. I started with the RCBS rock chucker press. Stlii works great after 25 years.

RE: Mossey's List
Items for a BASIC NEEDS list for reloading rifle/pistol ammo that I feel are probably needed to start: 1. Safety Glasses 1. Sturdy work bench. 2. Well - lit area. 3. Reloading manual(s). ($20-$25) 4. Powder, bullets, primers, casings 5. Press ($65-$115 press only) 6. Dies ($18-$50) *7. Primer pocket cleaner ($5) 8. Case Lube (case lube and pad kit $17) 9. Case lube pad 10. Dial Calipers or Verneers ($20-$50 make sure it reads to .001") 11. Case trimmer & pilots ($50-$75 comes with pilots) 12. Powder scale (beam type $50) 13. Loading blocks ($5) 14. Powder funnel ($5) 15.Set of standard allen wrenches ($5-10) *16. Hand priming tool ($40) 17. Deburring tool (Deburring chamfering tool combo $15) *18. Flashole deburring tool ($10) Looks good. I would eliminate #8 and #9 and substitute in a $8 tin of Imperial Sizing Die Wax. Its seems that many if not most long time reloaders (including me) eventually settle on using this stuff because its easier to use and works a lot better than anything else. Might as well push the beginners up the learning curve a bit and start them off with ISDW. For a case trimmer, I highly reccommend use the lee system which only costs about $12 to start out and another $4 every time you start reloading for a new cartridge. |
