Hi Guys
probably been done to death before but getting a couple of new rifles and want to start reloading, 7mm rem mag and a 6.5x55, so what would be a list of good quality componets to start with so I don't have to upgrade later

Ol` JoeA search here will bring up lots of past advice on equipment. My personal take is RCBS, Redding, or Forster are hard to beat for the $$ with Lyman and Hornady running very close. Shop the online shooting stores for the best prices.

muckLapua or Norma brass is hard to argue with. But any brand will do.
As to powders, primers, and bullets you will need to sort that out based on what your rifle likes.
Also what you intend to use the rifles for.
I know this isn't much help, but that's how it is.

Winchester 69It gets done a coupla' times a week. But, here's a start:
Forster or Redding for press and dies
RCBS ChargeMaster Combo powder scale and dispenser
Wilson trimmer
VLD inside chamfer
Dial caliper - inexpensive works
Imperial Sizing Wax
Sinclair catalogue - great accessories, like Satern funnels and Sinclair's custom loading blocks, gauges...
Reloading manuals
