[QUOTE="Rayce, post: 3516666, member: 8402"] Right now is a difficult time to find equipment for most everyone. So you can spend a lot of effort and money. Used dies can be tricky, you just never know what the die has been subjected to, so a inspection of the dies is imperative. Try to buy from someone you can trust and is willing show you the dies prior to purchase. Getting a die set New in box is always preferred. I personally have hornady, rcbs and Lee dies. I prefer hornady custom grade die sets for handguns that have a titanium nitrade ring which allows you to deprime and resize a casting without lubing. This remove one step, if you have a single stage press, you will want to remove as many steps as you can. Rcbs also offers a similar type die. The Lee dies I have are for bullet resizing. Reloading is quite the process, find one caliber and work to get everything you need for that particular round. Work on building it up to completion. This will give you an idea on dies and other tools you will want to work on the next caliber you want to work. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
