I'm looking into getting into reloading. Primary cartridge will be 308 win for a 700 5R.
I'm thinking of getting:
RCBS rockchucker - 130$
MTM Mini Digital Reloading Scale 40$
RCBS Shell holder 7$
Satern Powder Funnel 10$
Redding #5 Powder Trickler 20$
Imperial Case Sizing Wax 2 oz 7$
L.E. Wilson Chamfer and Deburring Tool 20$
RCBS Hand Priming Tool (Is this the best hand priming or should I do press priming?) 40$
Possum Hollow Kwick Case Trimmer -25$
Above ~300$
Leaves me with ~200$ for the below
Powder Throw (Which?)
Set of 308 Dies (Which?)
Tumbler and separator (Which?)
I'm just overwhelemed at the moment. Need a sanity check. This is cobbled together from a few people's beginners lists some of which may be out of date. I just need some feed back if this is good stuff, or if there's better stuff or if I really need to spend 5 or 50$ more here or there and what not.
I've been looking at the non-electronic/weighing powder throws. I don't see why I should need the 350$ ones. If that's wrong, let me know but between the trickler, the scale, and a standard thrower, it seems I could do the same, but be slower. Being that it's 300$ more, that's almost twice the investment to recoupe it seems like it's a bit much.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
