It will save you a bunch of time to read the abc's of reloading. I just picked up a copy at the local library. Read it first. It has more info than I thought possible. You will probably have 17 other posts saying the same.
+1 ABC's of reloading and some time to read it. I keep that book on my reloading table for pointers and good information on how to set up dies. Ive only been reloading for about six months and that book is worth its weight in gold plated lead.It will save you a bunch of time to read the abc's of reloading.

Your just talking about the press right? Not the whole kit. Just asking because I just Google it and they came up for around 400.00 for the kit. I didn't just look for press only yet. If u are talking about the kit then please send me a link to get one that cheap.RCBS Rockchucker. It will run you close to 150 but it will last a lifetime or more. Very well made and easy to use.
Even though I pretty much "converted" to the religion of "Dillon Blue" 30 years ago, I still use my old Lyman "Orange Crusher" and my Reddings quite a bit.I started with the RCBS Rock Chucker back in the early 90's and still use it today. Save up and by the kit.
That is what I went with. Problem is now finding the extra die holders. I had a backorder at Midway and they were supposed to be in stock on Friday but I must not have been high enough on the list. Now they are out of stock until early May. I have two but I eventually want atleast 5 to keep all of my dies permanently setup.Take a good, hard look at the Lee Classic Turret for your first press. Without the auto-indexing rod it is an excellent single stage turret. Extra turrets are cheap so you basically never have to set up a die twice.![]()
I definately agree. We currently use the Lyman turret press. It holds 6 dies, and that's 2 sets for what we load. Extra turrets are about $40 and well worth it. If you start loading more sizes, buy an extra turret.Take a good, hard look at the Lee Classic Turret for your first press. Without the auto-indexing rod it is an excellent single stage turret.
