Just joined, first post. As the title suggests, using the search function, I'm a bit overwhelmed and not sure what info is the most appropriate/current. I've been reloading .45 ACP and 9mm on a Dillon 750 for a little over a year. Just joined up to snag a coax press so I guess I'm getting into rifle loading a bit sooner that expected. Looking for gear recommendations, case prep, scale (I'm using the Dillon now), trickler, etc. A $ isn't an object list of stuff to get, or a more realistic but still buy once, cry once list.

I plan on putting together my own wet tumbler. I'll be using the Dillon for 5.56 plinking/class ammo, the coax for more LR paper punching/hunting in 5.56, 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor, .308 and 25-06. Possibly 30-06.

Thanks for the info.
 
I've found better luck using google as a search function.

You'll want to cater your search to this forum and then look at date to find the newest threads.

Something like, "New reloader need advice equipment snipers hide"

This is what I got from within 2 years:







This should give you a good start. These are all mainly 2019 and 2020 posts.

Another thing that may help is to define what you want to do? Have you ever loaded precision before?

Some guys get started into precision reloading and burn out quick.

I do roughly the same thing - Dillon for 9mm/5.56 range rounds and longer range/precision rounds on a single stage. My "must have's" in the later category are Chargemasters (I have a 1500 and a Lite) and the Giraud trimmer. I know the Chargemasters aren't super precise but for what I do they're very solidly good enough.
