Question Reloading

Been thinking about starting to reload my own brass. What would be a reasonable but dependable reloader? Been looking at Lee and RCBS.

I started with an RCBS, the Partner reloading kit, about 10 years ago in college. Glad I did, had a part break and RCBS sent a new one, free of charge, no shipping or anything. And that was only a couple years ago. It is single stage but I love reloading. Dies are cheap, even cheaper if you get them off ebay. Most of the people I know that reload have RCBS so, if needed, we could just swap equipment. I don't know if you could put an RCBS die in a Lee press or vice versa. I don't know much about the other brands but I do know I have always been pleased with RCBS.

Fun to experiement with the different loads, saves money (but takes more time) and you'll be suprised at how much your groups shrink when you figure out which load your rifle likes.

I don't think you will be disappointed.

Redding, Hornady, RCBS... all good.
