Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles First timer, what to buy?

I’m fairly new my self and I haven’t read all of the reply’s above..
But I really like Hornady bullet comparator to measure to ogive vs to the tip of the bullet (coal). Which is much easier for me. they also have one for head space. Sinclair has an insert to measure the depth of your chamber so you don’t have to trim your cases unnecessarily.
Hornadys case prep made the biggest impact for me in deburing and cleaning out primer pockets. I will say mine fell apart after couple years, ordered a new one from Amazon and returned the old one before the dead line to return . Read the reviews your self. I will agree with starting off, go with the cheaper cup and core to learn on. But sierras and Speer’s have been solid for me!
There is also shooter pro shop which is Nosler store and they have overhang and 2nds for sale
I really like ramshot powder. .
You can get their info on line or order hard copy for couple bucks. https://ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/WesternPowdersHandloadingGuide8.0_WEB.pdf

The very first thing you should buy is a good manual and READ it. I suggest a Hornady manual. The first section of the manual explains everything that happens from the time the firing pin strikes the primer until the projectile leaves the barrel. It really helps to understand what pressure signs mean and what to look for.
