    getting into reloading

    I shoot mainly 9mm but going to start shooting more rifle. Is there anything else besides consumables and a table? I have a tumbler on order already.

    For rifle you'll need a trimmer.
    But for 9mm that kits has everything minus a tumbler and calipers.

      Pistol/rifle dies
      Digital caliper

      I also used the WFT trimmer for 223.

        There will be more... there will be more... you will change your mind or add something, then there will be more...

        For about $100 more you could get a progressive Dillon XL 650... but it is the extras one would want to add to it that will empty one's wallet.
        A cartridge per lever pull was REALLY worth it, but the initial cost was killer...

        Rifle=trimmer as stated, caliper, and a deburr/dechamfer method.

          I was in the same boat as you a month or so back... and there will be more...

          I started with a progressive press, but now I want to add a single stage press to the mix. So starting with the kit you posted is good, you can always add to it later.

          Rifle reloading in comparison to pistol reloading is a lot more involved with more steps that need to be done before you can start punching out rounds.

          My rifle reloading is basically done in 2 major steps. Case Prep and Reloading...

          Case Prep:
          Tumble/Cleaning
          Lube Cases
          Resize and Deprime
          Trimming
          Chamfering / Deburring
          Swage Primer Pockets (NATO Brass)
          Tumble again to clean lube and help remove any shavings from trimming and probably helps deburr a little as well..

              Get it from Grafs. It is cheaper and you get a FREE case prep assistant with it. (see rolling ads on the first page of www.grafs.com)
