Reloading list of components

[robertsma]

Okay, I have done some reloading before because my grandfather was a gunsmith but i'm stationed in California and all the equipment is back in NY. I have been trying to put a list of components that I need to start reloading again because i've gotten really into shooting again lately. I'm just looking for verification on what I need to start reloading again. I'd really appreciate the help, thanks.

Re: Reloading list of components

Leaving it generic since you have experience...keep asking if you need more input. If you dissect a single-stage kit like the Redding Big Boss Pro-Pak, it comes with:

- Press
- Powder scale
- Trickler
- Case lube kit
- Chamfer/deburr tool
- Funnel
- Powder measure
- Case trimmer

You still need:
- Priming tool -- unless your press has a built in priming tool like the Redding
- Bullet puller
- Case prep tools: primer pocket reamer (if mil brass), pocket uniformer, flash hole uniformer, etc
- Shell holder
- Vibratory cleaner (media & polish)
- Powder mount arm (not mandatory but I can't live without)
- Trimming board -- I mounted my trimmer on a nice $8 cutting board from Ross
- Dies
- Components -- brass, primers, powder

And then a nice sturdy work surface to mount it all on.

If you are going progressive, I highly recommend checking out Brian Enos' website: http://www.brianenos.com/pages/dillonfaqs.html#includefaq
