Which reloading kit?
I'm a newbie planning to start reloading.
I'm trying to decide between the RCBS RC Supreme Master Reloading Kit and Hornady;s Lock-N-Load Kit. Any recommendations would be gratly appreciated!

I agree... get an RCBS Partner Press kit. That's how I started out.

RCBS Rock Chucker Master Reloading Kit and the RCBS Accessory Kit.

Right now they are cheap...liquidation...

Thanks for the feedback. RCBS it is. Should I stick to their dies too?

RCBS makes good dies. I have the majority of their dies. I have been impressed with Hornady's pistol die set for the 480 Ruger I have been using. My next set is the Redding. My local dealer says they are to higher tolerences. I don't like the Lee dies adjustment.

Just my 2 cents

I would go with Redding. While much of my equipment is RCBS the extra money for the Redding dies is worthwhile.

I'm glad you asked the question, 'cause I was just getting ready to ask it. I looked at the Hornady "lock-n-load" system. Looks like it would work well for a guy like me that wants to load 4 or 5 different rounds and doesn't want to mess with constantly screwing in the dies. Any thoughts on the Lock-N-Load, their sight says they can sell a conversion to use it on other presses. Maybe a rockchucker with a LNL? Or is my mind suffering from too much vibration?

Redding "Big" Boss Pro Reloading kit, has everything you'll need, including the 3BR powder measurer, powder trickler, their #2 scale, and trimmer. Price I believe is about $370. But make sure it's the Big Boss, and not the Boss. There's a difference.
Try Lock, Stock, & Barrel.
