What do I need to load rifle cartridges

[madcow]

I don't have the dies, trimmer or chamfer/deburr tool but thank you!

For dies your brand of choice, make sure you get a Full Length resize die set. For trimmers checkout Little Crow Gunworks. For chamfer/deburr tool any brand will work.

I'm so glad you said that because I didn't know that pistol cartridges needed to be trimmed! Too bad trimmers and chamfer/deburrers are so darn expensive. Do you know anyone selling any for under $75?

Very rarely do you need to trim pistol brass, they usually fail before they exceed case length specs.

another big fan of little crow gun works. WFT2 and inserts is what I use. I use a VLD lyman chamfer tool. I chuck both in a drill press. IF you go with the WFT...get a carbide endmill.

you can pick up a Lee chamfer/deburr tool on Amazon for $5.

I just got a Frankfort arsenal prep station and it’s a game changer.

Right now, unless you already have all of the components on hand or are re-loading purely for accuracy/performance, you need to have a lot of time on your hands with nothing better to do.
