I started reloading 46 years ago with a second hand Lyman Spartan Press. Those were the days....
Now I have a Dillon Super 1050, RCBS Pro 2000, Redding T7, Hornady Lock n Load, and a RCBS Rockchucker.
Dies; Dillon, Redding, Hornady, RCBS, Lyman, C&H and Lee.
Trimmers; Dillon, Little Crow WFT, and Lee.
Scales; RCBS, Redding, both beam and electronic.
Powder Measures; Dillion, Redding, RCBS, Lyman, and Sinclair, also the Lee Dippers.
Lube Sizers; Star, Lyman and RCBS.
Bullet Casting; Magma Engineering and Lyman with molds from just about every manufacturer.
I load for just about everything between the 5.7 x 28 to the 12.7 x 99.
I enjoy reloading and I have plenty of time to perform it during the long dark winters, But that beach front property in Florida sounds better all the time!
I guess I knew more then than I know now.

I wish I bought all the remington golden bullet bricks in 22 LR when they were 15$. I would have a few spare coins now....

I started in 1976 with a RCBS press, uniflow powder measure, 5-10 scale RCBS dies and Lee trimmers. Over the years I switched over to Bonanza BR dies and it was a good switch. Every thing else I would keep the same.
Good Shooting,
George

"If you knew then what you know now", I'd have quite agonizing over which BRAND of anything is "best" much sooner than I did.

I would have bought the Co-Ax much sooner!
Redding dies, Harrell measure.
I don't own a powered case trimmer, and should.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I started with Pacific dies (3), RCBS (12), and Lee (3). They have all worked very well.
If starting over would consider getting mostly Lyman dies with the M die as I believe that the other sizers stretch cases and cause them to need more trimming.
Lyman M dies make bullet seating slightly easier IMO.

If I had it to do all over again, I'd marry a rich woman so I could afford all Giraud had to offer, buy boolits and cases 1000 at a time, powder by the ton, and have all the time I wanted to shoot it all up.

Don't buy a cheap tumbler, spend more and get a good one that's quiet. I have a Thumlers and would never own any other.
