What presses and dies are you using and general equipment recommendations.

[Jake TN]

I bought the Hornady single stage and progressive before I was educated in reloading. If you do high volume, I would stay away from them- I would actually just stay away from them period. For high volume use Dillon. There are quite a few good single stage presses. I didn’t see the MEC marksman on here. It is a solid single stage. I would suggest you think about all the calibers you are going to be reloading, what brass you are going to be processing, the reloading materials you plan on using, and the quality of ammo you wish to produce. The final part of loading ammo is the easy part. This is really important if you plan on doing bulk 5.56. The brass prep for auto loaders is more tedious than bolt rifles. I know several PRS match shooters that load on Dillon progressives and have excellent results.

When it comes to precision dies- if you might be loading compressed loads I would go with the forester micro seating die over the Redding.
