I started this journey with a borrowed Lee C press, a set of RCBS 223rem dies, Lee debur and chamfer tool, HF calipers, borrowed vibratory tumbler, Lee pilot trimmer and made some pretty good ammo. I quit loading for about a year now and started back up last week realizing that all my cheap stuff just sucks! Soooo....I have a Frankfort Arsenal Precision trimmer on the way. Normally like $70 on Amazon I got it for $55. Purchased a good set of digital calipers, ordering a case prep center once its not backordered anymore. Ditched the HF vibratory tumbler for a FART. I learned really fast the other day that processing 1500 pieces of 5.56 and LE 223rem with crimped pockets is not fun to do by hand hence the trimmer and case prep center.
I look at it this way I am in my 30's with a long road ahead of me and many rounds ahead of me. I may as well buy good stuff that is going to make it easier and last me years than save a couple bucks.
