Reloading

I can see you have lots of advice/help with your question on reloading. My 2cents worth is as follows. If you have a table of any sort in your apartment, then go to Lowe's or Home Depot or some place and get a 2"X 8" board just long enough to reach across you table and extend past on one end to allow you to mount a reloading press. 2 C clamps to hold your board to the table You will be much more satisfied with a real press instead of a hand held press. When not reloading, disassemble clamps and board and store press under bed. Now this is the minimun tools you will need to load rounds correctly.
30.06 die set
case lube to prevent sticking in die when resizing case.
calipers to measure COL (cartridge overall length)
powder scales (balance beam type will work)
shell holder for 30.06 case
Hand priming tool works great and is very easy to use to seat primers in case
Primers (large rifle primers)
Powder (IMR 4831) is a good powder
bullets of your choice. (308 cal.)
Reloading Manual of your choice.
As time goes by you will want to buy a case trimmer and other equipment. Oh, for cleaning dirty brass, good ole Brasso will do the job until you can get something else.

Good luck
