How many rounds per year do you plan to reload?
Not sure. Why do you ask? I'm not going to be reselling them. Just reloading for myself. Several thousand?
Low volume- RCBS Rock Chucker (good one to start with anyway). High Volume - Dillon 1050 (maybe 650). It depends on how you value your time. You can load with a lot of brands/types of equip. I think Dillon and RCBS make about the best in new production systems. Lee is okay for low volume loading. Hornady stuff is dog ****.
Yeah, that's why I'm asking. I started out looking at Hornady and didn't like the reviews. Although most were positive. The negative reviews seemed legit.
My comment is based upon experience with the branded items I've used. Their bullets are fine, I use them all the time and love the AMAX for target shooting. Hornady reloading equip is made to sell, not to use.
Thanks. I'll look into the Dillion and RCBS
Dillon presses are they way to go.
If you are doing a lot of volume Dillion yes..If your just plinking RCBS.
When I started reloading (in 1991) I bought the Rock Chucker Supreme Master reloading kit. it served me well for 20 years before I bought a Dillon. I only bought that because I started shooting pistols (.45) and needed to supply about 1,500 rounds per month, at low velocity (only shooting 25 yards) with lead bullets.
