All comes down to budget. Redding is definitely one of the higher end brands when it comes down to reloading.

Ning, if you heed his advice you're gonna be spending a lot more than you bargained for.

For match rounds, there are very few better than the Type S FL bushing dies. They are pricey, but worth every penny.

I'm sure some more of our resident reloaders will chime in as well.

You more than can. Redding doesn't sell everything anyways. What were you thinking about reloading? We can give you some pointers.

$2K should be more than enough. Heck for $2K, you could even go blue for 9mm and .45

Match rounds? Blasting rounds?

.223 match rounds?
Would something like this be good for making 80gr bullets go 1000yards out of an AR15 accurately?

more blasting rounds for now. i like going to the range and shoot.....

so what kind of gear/stuff/setup am i looking at?

thx for helping this newbie!

[damndave]

Whether you go with a progressive, single stage or turret mainly depends on how many rounds you are going to be shooting.

If you are going to have 1 press for everything, I would get a turret. If more than 1 press, I would have 1x progressive and 1x single stage.

Any kit is capable of making excellent match ammo. All comes down to your brass prep and components used. It's all about consistency, and Redding is definitely one of the best.

Great prices... too bad I just blew my $$ on a LnL AP.

i recently attained a set of 7mm redding dies from a friend of mine. these dies are brand new. I am not familiar with the proper adjustment to use them on my lee Breechlock press. I am looking into getting an RCBS rockchucker to use these dies with also. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Lee has instructions online and with their dies on how to adjust them so it is very straightforward. The dies i received don't have anything and I don't see anything on the redding website.
