Be a good starter set
Get with someone around close and learn what they teach you save you alot of money time and problems

I would start out with a RCBS kit. JMHO.

Nothing wrong with Rcbs. Once sent back an 8mm/06 die from the early 60's no charge on replacement.

I started on a Dillon 650. Had no trouble operating it and made fine ammo. But I've started loading on my RCBS Rockchucker just so I can make every step as precision as possible. I'd go with RCBS and either get the kit or just the press and buy things that I need when I need them. Lyman may have good stuff, I just don't personally know anybody that uses them exclusively.

RCBS is quality stuff. Lyman may be too I just don’t know. Gotta be careful, some of stuff is made in China and I ain’t having that.

Thanks all, looks like RCBS will be my choice. I’ve got a good friend that’s been reloading as far back as I can remember, gonna spend some time picking his brain before I start.

Pick up a Sierra Loading guide and READ IT. When your done reading it, READ it again.

When you set up your loading bench, do it in a space dedicated to this purpose. No kids running around, no TV, no distractions to divert your thoughts away from the small explosive charges you are creating.

Very good advice. I also dont like friends over when i load. To easy to get side tracked

I have the Lyman crusher press. Been using it for 15+ years. Everything from reduced deer loads for kids, to 1250 yard long range primer poppers. Makes fine ammo, if you do your part and know exactly what you're doing.

Yeah, I only reload when nobody's around, as is GONE for a while.
Slow, methodical, steady, focused.
