RE: What Equipment did you start out with?
ORIGINAL: cma3366a What equipment did you start out with, and have you replaced it? Mine was Herter's: a Super #3 single stage press, Beam scale, and Case trimmer,an Omegarule-caliper,and a number of Herter's and RCBS dies. I have replaced everything but alimited number of the dies and the press which still see's occasional use, mainly for '06 and .270. I started out with a Lyman 310 tong tool and dies for the .30/'06. plus a Pacific powder scale and a brown paper sandwich bag full of Hodgdon WWII surplus 4895 powder, 100 -M2 ball 150 grain FMJ bullets from the DCM, and 100 Remington 9 1/2 primers. Yes, I have replaced all this stuff many times over! But I still use that old 310 tool from time to time, usually for seating primers, one at a time, in cases with '06 size shell heads....... |
RE: What Equipment did you start out with?
Started out with a used Pacific Mag 3-ram press, Pacific trimmer and scales. Went thru the digital scale phase and came back to my RCBS beam balance. My press is a Rockchucker. My current trimmer is Forster. Now use the RCBS hand priming tool also.

RE: What Equipment did you start out with?
I started with a Forster Co-Ax press and dies and other pieces of equipment from various manufacturers. I bought all my initial stuff from Sinclair Int'l and ended up with equipment from Redding, Forster, RCBS, Vibrashine, Sinclair, PACT,etc, etc, etc...The one single piece of equipment that I didn't buy initially, butenjoy using more than any other (except for maybe thepress)is the Lee collet neck die. I now use it for every cartridge I reload for except one.

RE: What Equipment did you start out with?
Well yes and no. I got my first reloading set over 40 years ago. Pacific deluxe. I still use that old press and powder thrower exclusively. I have since got another scale (rcbs 505), and trimmer (rcbs trimpro). The dies I use are rcbs, lyman, and lee.
