[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1027215, member: 880"] Here's what I found out about reloading, many years ago I bought an RCBS Special 5 loading kit (I believe that was the number it's been awhile) I loaded many thousands of round with that press then I stepped up since I got into some more interseting calibers, necking up and down cases the press was just not enough so I got the rockchucker press and that was over 10 years ago. I gave a buddy of mine the small press I started with to get him into it and he still uses it to this day. I have a couple of the Lee hand presses and for range work working up loads they are ok but anything with volume foul words will come from your mouth I promise unless you just need to waste a mess of time. I have found that the Lee loading manual is about the best one out there, they don't make powder or bullets so they are not bias toward one or the other. If I were to give my honest opinion about purchasing a reloading kit I would push the RCBS Rockchucker the best single stage press in my opinion and you get some extra goodies in there that will just make things easier for ya. I don't care for RCBS dies and use Hornady but the Lee dies are not bad either when you replace that goofy die nut with a crossbolt type. Don't take what you hear on the internet for truth, if someone states a load check it several times against solid data (reloading manual) but there is a mess of great information out there. The biggest thing is if you have an issue and think you MAY know what to do ask the folks here to be SURE! there is a wealth of information on this site and some good people to help you out, no question is stupid unless not ask! I have one of the CZ527 in 17 Remington and they will shoot and shoot good so you will be impressed when you start loading and can taylor a round to your rifle that can knock pennies off each shot at 100 yards. Best of luck to ya and have fun. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
