I have not received any of this equiptment yet, but it is all on order and will be here soon! I want all of you more experienced loaders to look at what I have coming to build a reloading station and tell me if I am set, or if I should consider a few more things. Keep in mind I am going to primarily be reloading .30-06 shells.

1. Redding Big Boss Reloading Press
2. RCBS Competition 2-Die Set for 30-06 Springfield
3. RCBS Vibratory Case Tumbler 110 Volt
4. RCBS Trim Pro Manual Case Trimmer Kit
5. Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure
6. RCBS Model 502 Magnetic Powder Scale 505 Grain Capacity
7. RCBS Collet Bullet Puller w/30 Caliber Collet (308 Diameter) for .30-06
8. Hornady Shellholder
9. 6" Dial Calipers

I obviously didn't list any media/raw materials. I am going to wait until all this stuff has come in and I have my bench setup then I will go to my local gun shops and see what all I can get.

I bought pretty much everything from Midway USA, which had good prices. The Redding press I got from Ebay, and the calipers I got locally.

I would also love any advice on good bullets and powder to get for .30-06 rounds. I will probably be reloading my empty shells, but I may buy shells for handloading too, I don't know.

Any and all advice is much appreciated!
