    Recommendations for an Electronic Scale

    neck sizer die....important?

    Re: neck sizer die....important? Congrats on your intrest in reloading. It's well worth the time. You don't "need" a neck sizing die to do quality reloads. It just makes you loads better. I would recomend you get the three piece Lee Deluxe Rifle dies next time though. Matter of fact, I would...
