Get you a RCBS single stage loader and start reloading your own. this set-up is reasonably priced and you can save a good bit of money, it's also fun and might come in handy some day. :thumb:

Hello Mycar47562
I was told many Moon's ago, to not ever shoot anyone's reloads. My Brother in law had a drop Dead Gorgeous Remington model 700 Bolt action rifle in .223 Caliber and failed to Listen to my advice and showed up one day at my home with his Beloved Remington with a swelled case in it's chamber from an Over loaded round. :mad: It took me an Hour to get the stuck case out of the chamber of that rifle and I told him to throw away the rest of the ammo that guy loaded for him. I wanted to reload so Picked an Older Guy in the town I grew up in to show me how to do it right. He was about 65 Years old when he took me by the hand and showed me all the steps to building quality reloads. Once we finished I reloaded off his Press for about a Year before I moved to Tennessee. When he learned I was moving 800 Miles away, he said he needed to see me at his house. When I got there he had a large box chucked full of all his reloading equipment that was real Old school being a single stage H-Beam C&H Brand not made any more but super strong and accurate, along with all his Other tools of the trade I learned with from him. He asked for the Price he Paid for all of it back in the early 1950's which was $65.00. This included all of his equipment needed to reload rifle and Pistol loads, and I Gladly Paid him for it all. I moved and set up the equipment in my back yard shed and five Years later returned to hunt Deer in my home town with a Rifle as they opened just two counties to see how Rifle Hunting went .I dropped this Fine Five Point Buck with my Remington Model 788 in .243 Winchester caliber less than 15 Minutes into the season. The hand load was a warm one but very accurate and did a fine job. Killing Game with a hand load I assembled gave me a feeling down deep that I can not compare to any other feeling as when you send the bullet through and animal that you assembled it makes Hunting that much more meaningful to you. I drove down town with my Buck in the back of the truck in hopes of seeing my Old reloading teacher as I was so excited about the first Deer Kill with my own loads. Sadly I learned he was in a Hospital bed slowly dying from Terminal Cancer, so I drove up to his house to see him. His wife let me in and he was very glad to see me. I backed in and he noticed the five Point buck in the back of my Dodge Ram as he mentioned it the minute I entered the Living room where he laid. I grinned and handed him the spent .243 Winchester casing and added.."Without Your Gracious Help and Guidance, This Kill would not have happened, as I handed him my Hand load that Droped the buck out front in my Truck" He smiled and studied the casing very intently saying this case looks like it was a maximum charge. I told him what I had loaded it with, and he agreed it was a hot load but did a fine Job. We had a lot of Laughs that afternoon on my visit and I knew as I shook his hand and said goodbye he may not be around much Longer, but it was important to me to share my first success story of hand loading with him. I left that Fired .243 Winchester case on his bed side stand and he waved Good bye as I Looked back at his large Living room Picture window leaving his driveway last deer season. I received word he died about two weeks after I was there, and this made me feel sad but on a Positive note, I was glad he took the time to teach me how to Load for myself and to do it right. I think of him each time I sit down to load a few more rounds, and my reloading means that much more to me now....I would suggest you find an older reloading person in Your area that will take the time to show you how to do it right like I did so many years ago...

The RCBS press most certainly would do the job. RCBS has a reputation for making high quality durable products that they stand behind. You will also need a scale, dies, shell holder, and most important of all a quality loading manual.

Dies usually come in sets depending on which calibre you are loading. a typical straight walled pistol set will consist of the following three dies
1. a sizer and decapping die
2. a mouth expanding die
3. a bullet seating and crimping die.
The shell holders are somewhat individual to the calibre. Each die maker makes one for the calibre of dies you are using. Some sets include the shell holder (such as Lee) others require it be bought separatly. When you order dies from your supplier you simply specify that you also need a shell holder for whatever calibre you are planning to load.
What calibres are you planning to load?

Usually when you look at dies sets, the website or catalog will tell you what shell holder you need, or you can just look up shell holders and find your caliber. I assume your shopping on line. If you're in a store and pick up a set of dies, the box should tell you what shell holder to get.
