New to reloading rifle/necked cartridges. I have however loaded tens of thousands of straight walled pistol rounds on my dillon square deal b reloading presses. Looking at starting to reload rifle rounds for 223 to get the basics down and then move over to working up some 308 rounds for some benchrest shooting.
Coming from an auto indexing progressive press with proprietary dies to a single stage press with a few additional steps, what items am I missing to get started? I have a micrometer, scale, tumbler that I use for the handgun rounds that obviously can be used for this. For new equipment, currently have:
-Forester Coax Single stage press
-RCBS Chargemaster Supreme powder dispenser
-Forester Bench Rest Full Length Sizing die 223
-Forester Bench Rest Seater die 223
-Reloading trays
I am assuming a trimmer will be needed as well? A crimp die? Anything else that I may still be needing and any recommendations?
