I am sure that by now that you are totally confused. I have been shooting/reloading since 1968 and shot my first benchrest match in 1969. I have really enjoyted the sport of reloading for accuracy.
When a new guy starts out, it is tough because we all want it all right now.
This is the time to set some priorities, and you have to ask yourself what is important.
To help out the new guy that wants to start reloading, there are some items that are paramount that you buy CLOSE to first quality first time around, and other items that will do more than an acceptable job for a long time to come that may be considered second quality(but they are not).
You can get by with a Lee press, but a Rock chucker from RCBS is one of the very best investments that you will ever make.
Forester/Bonanza Benchrest dies are fantastic money spent first time around, they go a long way in getting the bullet started straight.
An RCBS 10-10 Scale is one of the very best tripple beams ever built, and a RCBS 505 is second.
I have a $800 electronic scale that verifies the accuracy of both of these two scales and they are dead nuts.
I have a private rifle range that I shoot at, with a complete 3 sets of reloading equipment for me and my shooting partner.
