As a first time reloader, it was a daunting to figure out what parts or brands to get in order to get started. I wasn't sure if I would really like reloading and how much it would cost to get a decent reloading setup. Online, I saw people using different kinds of turrets which costs hundreds of dollars. I wasn't sure if reloading was for me and I settled for a small handpress (the one where you hold in your hand) before I found this. From my research, this kit was cheap and reliable enough for me to get started into reloading. I got this kit to reload .223 ammo for my bolt action rifle.The kit comes with almost all the equipment you need to make .223 ammo that won't blow up in your face (if you follow the instructions). All you need is a mallet, a hard steady surface to work on, and reloading components (brass, primer, powder, bullet). In addition, I got a scale, calipers, ammo box, and an impact bullet puller to make my setup a bit more robust. I didn't get any lube because my brass came out just fine, it may be different for you.The instructions are very clear and all done through pictures. This kit is slow, but that works for me. It allows me to appreciate each round I make and understand how a bullet is created step by step. In the future, I plan on buying a multi stage turret because I now know I enjoy reloading.Again, I want to reiterate that this is an inexpensive way to get into reloading. So with that in mind, there are a few drawbacks to this kit and can be rectified by getting the more expensive turrets:-No Neck Sizing - Because there is no neck sizing, there is a chance that your reloads will not fit into other guns. Because of the expansion after the round is fired, the neck molds to that gun and it might not be the same size as other guns. If you are reloading for the same gun, then this will not be an issue. You can also buy a neck resizer to fix this issue.-Powder accuracy - You are literally using a little cup to measure the powder. Sometimes there's too much and sometimes there's too little. Eyeballing it can only get you so far. Either way, they will be safe loads and should fire fine. I bought a scale (and calipers) to do some quality checks but I really need an auto powder measure to fix this issue.-Speed - If you are looking to reload hundreds of rounds per session, this kit is not for you. A turret will allow to make rounds at a faster rate. Again, I got this kit to get into reloading.And lastly, buy an impact bullet puller! Mistakes will happen and this will save you from wasting a bullet.Overall, this is a great kit to get you started in reloading without spending too much.
