Reloading Equipment

OK, what do I need to get me up and running with reloading?

The jargon and theory out there needs to be cracked first, to this end I have ordered "Modern Reloading, Second Edition" by Richard Lee.

I know this wont give me everything I need but will point me in the right direction.

Then there is the kit, dies, presses, scales, cleaners, etc etc.

What is the minimum items of kit I need to start me reloading???

(For info it is 243 that I am looking at)

Thanks

Jeremy

Thats exactly what i started with, with the addition of a tumbler and a couple of ammo trays :D

A decent manual or half a dozen! Rockchucker press will last a lifetime, good set of scales, 505 are good, electronics ok but do go out of calibration easily. A Lee handpress will get you started. Lee or RCBS Dies, don't bother with competition dies. Primers, cases and powder and bullets of course! I would not personally bother with a tumbler you can clean the cases by hand and give them a good inspection. Oh and case lube, I have used vasoline in the past (but thats a different story!)
Be slow, check everything twice, no distractions and get as much knowledge as you can.
And Safety Glasses.
Good luck

Try posting what county you live in and someone local should help you.

Sussex Lad is a shooting partner of old so I am sure he will help, in fact he has already offered a bits and bobs.

So the Lee Kit is this @ £99:

Case length trimmer @ £4.75:

Plus scales, eye protection and the primers, powder and bullets.

Does not sound too bad, just need to sort a bench at which to mount things.
