Reloading Radio – BASIC EQUIPMENT FOR CENTERFIRE RELOADING

Play

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)
  15. PRIMER POCKET CLEANER
  16. CASE NECH BRUSH (caliber specific)
  17. DAIL CALIPER (analog or digital)
  18. BULLET PULLET (press mount or the hammer type)
  19. HANDLOADERS LOG
  20. CASE TUMBLER (either dry or wet)

I feel that if you have this basic center fire equipment that will allow you to reload any caliber as long as you have the caliber specific dies and shell holder.  With these 20 items you will be reloading quality and accurate and safe ammunition.
