Lee reloading dies are affordable, and the plastic powder scoop and shell holder are included in each set. They’re reliable, affordable and, for the beginning reloader, will certainly get the job done. The brand of die need not match the brand of press, and for our project, I’d recommend Lee dies. Reloading dies are pretty much universal, so long as they have the standard 7/8-14 die body. There are some cheaper models, but I don’t feel they provide the same level of performance as either of these two choices. Both could re-prime your cases, and both will last a lifetime. It’ll handle all the needed chores-though it only holds a single die at a time and performs one function at a time.įor this, I like either the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme (about $214 street price) or the Redding Big Boss (about $195 street price). A single-stage press is what you’re after.

High-quality ammunition can be made with simple tools and a strong attention to detail.
To reuse it, it needs to be returned to SAAMI specs. When the case is fired, it’ll expand to the (slightly larger) dimensions of the chamber. Reloadable cases are made of brass or nickel-plated brass and are malleable, yet strong enough to resist deformation in day-to-day handling-this is the primary reason brass was chosen as a case material.
