[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 4212889, member: 41653"] I agree that everyone should start on a single stage. I also agree with a heavy, cast iron single stage. I think any of the big names will do, I use a Lee Classic Cast. I also agree that you should stay away from a kit. You will replace most of the kit equipment. A good scale. Not electronic. Any of the big names will do, but the LEE is a bit more difficult to use. Good measuring tools. A way to take apart mistakes. You will need it. A good powder measure. Again,, any of the big names will work. I use a Lee Deluxe Perfect Powder Measure. In my opinion, it is one of the very best out there. A good manual, or three. Buy them all, and read the front half. Now read it again. Make certain you understand the theory of what you are doing. Understand fast powder vs slow powder, and why it matters. Understand seating depth, and why it matters. Understand velocity and pressure, and the relationship betwixt the two. Good luck, and enjoy. I've been doing it for 35+ years, and there is always something to learn. [/QUOTE]
