I used Lee Loaders for a decade before jumping in deeper...

After that I bought a set of Lee Dippers (with powder chart), a Lee Hand Press, a few sets of dies, and a priming tool...

The only things I have added over the years are a Redding scale, and a case trimmer...

I still use the hand press exclusively, weigh each charge, and immediately seat a bullet...

I do not worry about dropped charges being out of whack, and I certainly do not worry about double charging...

Slow, but it works for my needs...
