It's a good start I think.

What kind of rounds were you thinking of reloading?

**Beelzy** · 12-11-2008, 4:18 PM

You could save some bucks by waiting on the tumbler. I rarely use mine, unless I want to show off my reloads. The gun doesn't mind if the brass is
a little dull.

You could put the dough towards a powder measure or case trimmer. Those
will come in hand from the very start.

.223 and 380 Auto.... for now......
.308 rifle planned for down the road....

I thought a Powder Measure was Included in that Kit...... Tumbler Gone.......

honestly you may want to look at a turret press, just because if you want to load any sort of quantity, it makes it a lot faster. the lee classic 4 hole turret on midway is a good deal. if you don't know a whole lot about reloading the turret can also be used as a single stage press for learning purposes. it's just a lot more versatile.

I started on the Lee Challenger Anniversary Kit, gets you everything you need to get started for a very low price. most of the accessories are cheaply made, but they work just fine.

its a good idea to start low and work your way up until your comfortable with getting to something like a Dillion progressive press.

Buy this and read it several times:

An inexpensive caliper will be useful:

A can of Hornady One Shot case lube spray is worth it's weight in gold. Use it liberally:

I have the Challenger kit and if works great for low volume reloading, great to start with.

**smokingloon** · 12-11-2008, 9:03 PM

you should look at getting a case trimmer and by "holders" do you mean a loading block?

**bohoki** · 12-11-2008, 9:23 PM

well if you want cheap buy lee stuff
their dies generally come with the shellholder for that caliber

i suggest the lee safety scale and the lee perfect powder measure too

i like single staging its fun

as for lube i just use vasaline

I also got this press 2 months ago. Awesome press, Im not going to shoot thousands of rds per month so I can load a low amount or something. Also I will reload more precise loads for my .223 and .308.
total cost for me was about 350-400$ total, press kit, dies, powder, primers, bullets, tumbler kit.
