I have been wanting to get into reloading for a couple of years now and finally decided to take the plunge. My son and I mostly shoot 9mm and 38/357, so this is what I will be reloading. Right now I would say that we shoot together a couple hundred 9mm and a hundred or so 38 rounds per month.
The following list is what I currently am planning on buying soon. I would appreciate any advice/comments from anyone who has used any of this equipment, and any suggestions for substitutions of equipment you feel is sub-par (needs to be in the same price ballpark of what is being replaced).
* Lee Classic 4 hole turret press Kit (which includes): $215
Turret press with auto index
Pro auto disk powder measure
Auto disk powder measure riser
Large and small safety prime system
Safety powder scale
Case Conditioning Kit (Including: Case Trimmer Cutter and Lock Stud,
Chamfer Tool, Large and Small Primer Pocket Cleaner, Lee Case
Sizing Lube)
Modern Reloading 2nd Edition, Revised Reloading Manual
* Lee Deluxe Carbide 4-Die Set 9mm Luger $43
* Lee Deluxe Carbide 4-Die Set 38/357 Mag $43
* Lee 4 Hole Press Turret x2 $12 ea
* Lee bench plate kit $24
* Frankford Arsenal Electronic Caliper 6" Stainless Steel $18
* Frankford Arsenal Reloading Tray #3 9mm Luger x2 $6 ea
* Frankford Arsenal Reloading Tray #4 38/357 x2 $6 ea
* Frankford Arsenal Impact Bullet Puller $12
* RCBS Deluxe Scale Check Weights 510.5 Grains $53
* Lyman Turbo Twin Case Tumbler 110 Volt $71
* Frankford Arsenal Brass Cleaning Media Walnut Hull 5 lb Jug $16
* Frankford Arsenal Brass Case Polish 8 oz Liquid $9
* Speer "Reloading Manual #14" $29
* Lyman #49 Reloading Manual - already have
All together a tad over $500. What do you think?
