I just want to say thanks for everyones help on my thread 'Looking for comments on Reloading Equipment ' I will fill you in on my booty from what I have found around town. Thanks to your advice I believe I have a good start to getting into single stage reloading. I know I ended up with alot of rcbs stuff and it was not to discount the other brands recommended but more of a cost and availability for used.
2 RCBS uniflow powder measures like new
1 RCBS Powder Measure stand
3 RCBS Lube pads two new one slightly used
1 RCBS Trim Pro
1 Forster Case trimmer
1 RCBS Hand primer
2 RCBS Flip Tray
1 RCBS Powder Trickler
2 Stainless steel Calipers
1 RCBS 505 scale
2 Loading blocks
2 RCBS de-burring tools
2 Sets of Primmer pocket cleaners, one new one used
1 Powder funnel
1 Redding scale
1 Old model RCBS RC (like new)green handle, alum primmer catcher
3 Reamers (for primmer holes?)
6 Ammo cases
1 Set up shell holders 6
1 RCBS 2 die set 30/06
1 RCBS 2 die set 30/30
1 RCBS 2 die set 25/06
1 Lyman 2 die set 243
I found some of this on ebay some around town and at some gun shows total cost in so far $237 and i am planning on selling some of the stuff to offset some of the cost.
So all I need now is lnl bushing kit and some dies 308, 40sw, 45acp, 38super

here are some of latest questions if you have some time to help out
1)I only want to keep one case trimmer, I am leaning towards selling the rcbs trim pro and keeping the forster as I think I can get about 40 for it. any thoughts on which one I should keep. how does the forster compare?
2)I am also planning on selling the 4 die sets, the 505 scale, and maybe one off the iniflow powder, can you give me some idea on what I should let these go for, especially the die sets?
3)I am thinking of buying lee dies, 4 die sets for the pistol and the deluxe rifle die set for the 308. is it true you dont need lube for the rifle dies? and what are your thoughts on the full length collette die, and factory crimp or tapper crimp.
thanks for your time, I will fill you in how the loading goes as I plan to be rolling after the holidays
