Hello All,
I am about to take the plunge and start reloading for my 30-06. My primary goal is to improve the accuracy I'm getting with my model 700 ADL. It is shooting really well now (actually close to MOA
) right out of the box using Hornady factory loads. I have a couple of questions for the "seasoned" handloaders among y'all:
First, can I achieve the level of quality of a bench press using a hand press? I'm considering getting the Lee hand press reloading kit. I live in a small apartment and don't have lots of extra cash right now. I'd like to get the smallest, least expensive setup for building some accurate loads. I know hand presses take longer to use, but I'm about accuracy here, not mass production.
Second, other than the press and powder scale, what tools are needed to build accurate loads (case trimmers, tumblers, etc?).
Many thanks for helping a new handloader get started,
