    RCBS Rockchucker kit. Hand primer if it does not come with one. Vib brass cleaner, media, extra reloading block, stand for powder measure, 4" funnel modified, plastic ammo boxes and labels.

    There is more as you go. The most important item to get is the Lyman #49 reloading manual and read it. It will answer most questions.

    Next get an 03FFL to get dealer pricing on stuff. Best $30 you will spend

    The Dillon is NOT the machine for you. I own 2 and 4 single stages and know what I am talking about. Been loading for many years. If you want some help PM me.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

      Mine came with a hand primer.
      "Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
      Let my aim be true and my hand faster
      than those who would seek to destroy me.
      Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
      Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
      And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
      Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
      Amen

        I am very new to reloading but I couldn't agree more with the others, a Dillon is not a good machine for a newbie and especially for rifle. Way too much going on, too much to setup and calibrate.

        I bought the Lee Classic Turret, which is like a single stage but it has a rotating turret that holds all of the dies, which to me, seemed to be a bit simpler than a true single stage where you have to do all of one operation with one die, then change the die out for the next die to do the next round of operations. The Turret is faster but much easier to keep track of than on a progressive.

        I would also agree with the others that the RCBS and Forster are built like tanks. I am pretty easy on my gear so I am doing fine with the Lee but the RCBS and Forster are much more heavy duty.
