I'm wanting to start reloading. What equipment do I need? What is a good manual? What brand is decent quality and still priced right for a beginner? I am going to be reloading .308 and .30-06. 20 years ago I used to help my dad and granddad reload 12ga and 20ga shells. I don't remember much about it.

Shotgun is a bit different than metallic cartridge loading. Your best bet is to pick up a good manual from whomever's bullets you are wanting to load with and read through their instructions on reloading. Being you're only looking onto rifle stuff go single stage press then from there you'll need dies, all are pretty decent I'm not a fan of lee they seem very cheaply made. You will also need a good case trimmer, caliper, chamfer/deburring tool and a good scale. Most all the companies offer s good start-up kit that gets you everything you need to start up besides bullets, powder , primers and cases if you don't already have any saved up."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!" -
