[QUOTE="Petras, post: 214611, member: 216"] I should also add that I started reloading about 4 years ago. I began with an RCBS single stage kit. While they are a great deal and they are awesome for people just starting out, if you are anything like me you will outgrow it quick. I still use the press from the kit, but that's about it. I've since upgraded to a hornady digital scale and a lyman case prep center. Another tool that I've found to be pretty useful is a Hornady OAL gauge. This will help you to measure the throat of your rifle so you know exactly how far out you can seat your bullets. As others have said, Reloading is addicting. I'm to the point now where nothing is good enough and there's always something to be tweaked to make my groups better. I've got a 22-250 that shoots factory ammo in .2" groups @ 100 yards and my dumb ass believes I can improve on it... I've also recently purchased a used lee classic turret press and am really excited to get it rolling for some bulk .223 ammo and for pistol ammo when I get around to reloading that stuff [/QUOTE]
