Which Press to buy?
Ok ya' ll which is it, the RCBS Master Rock Chucker, or the Lyman set. I will really just load .243 and .270 on it. Also what kind of Tumbler should I get? Now I have used a RCBS before but if I am not mistaken I do believe that Lyman Dies are cheaper, or they were last time I checked. Oh well which ever gets the most votes is the one I will go with.

RCBS and a midway tumbler is what I use . My tumblers are about eight years old and the only problem I have ever had is one of them wore a hole in the bowl I had used it so much .

yup.....Reloading is spelled RCBS......all the way
all the vibratory bowls (tumblers) are made by one company and sold thru many different companys.....IE Midway' s is the same as Dillons is the same as Hornady' s etc

Lee Chalanger Press ( comes with the anniversary kit) works well if you are on a budget. I bought mine years ago and although I' ve considered many times to upgrade to an RCBS press couldn' t justify the expence when this one works so well. Don' t skip on the scale, get a good one. In my opinion it' s the most important piece of equipment you' ll buy. I' ve used lots of dies and I' ve had good results with lee dies too.
