Reloading Gear Check.

[Romanski]

sounds about right for starting with a top notch reloading setup but do you need the .223 match die set? I have the standard .223 redding dies and they work great for ~$50.00. You also need a case trimmer and calipers.

Yea I want the match set for the 223. The case trimmer I want is OOS I think I'll grab some cheap calipers off amazon for $10. I know, I know what your all thinking. Why have micrometer and use cheap calipers. Well according to reviews on some of these cheap digital caliper sets they work just as well as the expensive ones.

I bought a ruler as a back up to my digital calipers. I marked with a knife set AOL's and every so often I check my digital against the ruler which will never change unless I can chew the end off a metal ruler.

So here was my first purchase. Decided to just go with the heand primer the kit comes with until I can figure out WTF I need to make the press work. Or maybe thats not the best way to prime anyways. I wish they made it a bit easier to figure out....

Now I'm looking for a case trimmer. The wilson case trimmer seems to get great reviews. But I don't understand what else I need to purchase with it? I will only need to trim 223 for now.
