Reloading Radio – BASIC EQUIPMENT FOR CENTERFIRE RELOADING

This show I list what I think is the basic reloading center fire equipment. I break it down even more and list what basic equipment that i use. this list includes 20 items

  1. STRUDY BENCH (comfort, roomy, solid)
  2. RELOADING MANUAL
  3. RELOADING PRESS (single stage, progressive)
  4. RELOADING DIES (must be caliber specific)
  5. SHELLHOLDER (must be caliber specific)
  6. SCALE (manual, digital, powder dispenser)
  7. CASE LUBE  (pad or spray)
  8. POWDER FUNEL
  9. LOADING BLOCK (block to hold cases while reloading)
  10. POWDER MEASURE
  11. CASE TRIMMER
  12. OVERALL CASE LENGTH GAUGE (caliber specific)
  13. OFF PRESS PRIMER (handheld or bench mount)
  14. DEBURRING (inside and outside)
