Have been out of reloading over 50 years. Thinking of reloading again and still have a RCBS C press. What am I looking at for a minimum set up? Appreciate advice. Thanks
Welcome to the forum and back to reloading. Thanks for asking our advice.
Aside from eye protection and manuals (which you already know about)?
We could target our advice better if you shared some information about yourself: (What I use has no relevance to you if our needs are not similar.)
So, I have some questions for you before I can be more specific.
What calibers will you be reloading?
What quantities will you be reloading for those calibers? (Per month)
How much time will you be willing to devote to those quantities?
How large of production runs before swapping calibers?
What is your budget for the initial purchase? (Not components, just the equipment)
Will you want to get your entire setup at once or, after an initial setup that does all you need, add accessories and conveniences as your experience suggests and finances permit?
Will you be putting your gear away after each session or leave it set up permanently?
How much space will you devote permanently to a loading area, if any?
Do you want it to be portable?
What are your shooting goals? Cheap ammo? Ultimate long-range accuracy? Casual plinking, Serious competition - what kind? Cowboy Action Shooting? Strictly hunting? Personal defense? Skills development?
