I want to load the most accurate ammunition possible. I have 2 rifles (both Rem LTR’s in 223 and 308 with Swarovski scopes) that with factory ammunition will shoot a raged hole. I want to get into reloading for the enjoyment, satisfaction and to have the ability to shoot bullets and cartridges that are not in factory form.
I want to buy quality tools, however, I do not want to buy “wants” over “needs” at least in the beginning. It is an expensive hobby to go full tilt on from the get go.
I am torn on a case trimmer (will either start with Lee inexpensive cutter with stem or go with a L.E Wilson), and I’m not sure on a tumbler or if I’m gonna clean my brass with steel wool and a rag to start. I’ll also probably prime with the Rick Chucker to start as well.
I’m not concerned about speed as I’m only shooting bolt guns for hunting and practice. I do however want safe and accurate results. I would like to get all of my rifles to shoot the smallest groups possible, but I won’t be chasing .1’s at the time of hundreds or thousands of dollars difference. At least not right away. LOL
Thank you all!
Steve
