Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Help finding reloading thread for "newb starter kit"

I can't remember the name of the thread, but Monday I was reading a thread about a member wanting to get into reloading and which "starter kit" would be best to get started on and build off of that. Lots of members chimed in with their opinions on what is needed and what is basically useless or not needed. I have been looking all morning and I can't find the thread. If anyone has it bookmarked or know where it is, let me know. I too am a beginner at reloading .308, but have been reloading shot shells for over 25 years and would like to find that thread again with all the information and opinions. Thanks.

Not sure if this is the correct one but it has several replies and links to other threads so.........may be helpful

God Bless

If searching a site for something, some may not know this fast search method.

This example was>>>>> reloading starter kit site:www.24hourcampfire.com that I typed into my address bar on Google

Yeah I tried the google thing as well due to the site limiting it to 1 year. I also saw that thread but it wasn't it. The guy was asking about starter kits and some of the items that come with the kits you don't really need. Then of course another member chimes in and states that he should get this kit, he then lists all the items in the kits. Then repeat....... another claims to use xyz press, use abc dies, use 123 other tooling..... After reading the thread, I had a good understanding of what I would need to get started. I have a good digital scale that is very precise (used it to measure tungsten for pinewood derby cars awhile back for kids), I have a digital caliper. I also have access to other items. I was going to come back to that thread today and start writing down the different opinions on items needed so i can put my list together. Then just like that.....POOOF..... I can't fine the darn thing.

Might be this one... https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/getting-started-re-loading.205713/ . I often see a thread on sites, then can never find it again.

Did this list for a friend years ago.
