I need some reloading advice

This RCBS kit is what I'm leaning toward. It's just over $300 which will qualify for a $50 rcbs rebate, and midway will also give $35 of a $350 purchase.

Does this kit contain everything I need to get started beside dies? Any upgrades I need to make, or another kit that I should look at?

I'll probably start off with 5.56 and 300aac. Any general advice is also welcome.

It's there anyone local that will let me sit in on a reloading session?

Thanks everybody.

That set has everything U will need with the exception of the shell holders and dies!

RCBS is great way to go but go ahead and order The Lee reloading manual and a set of Lee dippers

In time the rcbs table mounted shell primer is a nice addition the lee powder dippers are a lot of help to

So if I start off with 556 and 300aac I need two dies and one shell holder?

Yep ^.

yes sir you are correct if the 300 acc is made from a 223 case

You will eventually need a case trimmer. This is the part of reloading I hate. Handgun never seems to be an issue, as I have never trimmed handgun brass. But rifle, dependent on the stress on the brass, will require the case to shortened as it grows from repeated firings, then eventually fails.

A Lee trimmer works great unless you are trimming hundreds at a time. Get the wood ball handled cutter#90275 , and a pilot - guide for each caliber. Around $15 bucks for all you'll need.

What about cleaning brass? Is that unnecessary?
