Here is a START list. Start by loading 9mm MINOR!

1. 2-3 reloading manuals

2. A case or 2 of Montana Gold bullets 124 grains

3. 4 or 8 lb jug of powder, VV N320, WST, just not Titegroup yet. It has a small volume that makes it too easy to double and triple charge a case without making a mess to alert you to a problem.

4. 5000 small pistol primers, Federal, CCI, or Winchester.

5. Dillon 650 with the setup video.

6. Redding Pro Dies where the seating and Taper crimp are separate (Dillon 650).

7. Dillon powder check system. Later on you can eliminate this for a bullet feeder.

8. EGW U die. A resizing/decapping die available at EGW gun works. Google "EGW gun" for the web site.

9. Digital Calipers.

10. Digital powder scale from BrianEnos.com.

11. Wilson Case gauge for your caliber.

12. Case tumbler and walnut or corn cob media. Mix media with one cap full of NU finish car wax and 30 ML Mineral spirits.

13. "Hornady One Shot" spray can of case lube. Makes the press run smoother.

14. Several one gallon ziplock bags to store the range brass you pick up.

15. An old coffee can to put the screw up rounds in.

16. Bullet puller to recover your screw up round components.

17. Dillon primer flip tray. It is the best.

18. CED 2 Chronograph (200$) or Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph 119$

19. A good notebook.

20. The correct shell plate if it doesn't come with your press.

21. Primer pick up tubes, 2.

22. Several plastic ammo boxes to store your loaded rounds.

23. A reloading bench in a quiet place to spend many many hours.

24. A resourse person that reloads on the same press as yours, on speed dial.

About $1500 give or take. You WILL save that $$$ in a year or 2 if you shoot enough.

Don't "learn" to reload with lead or plated bullets right away. They can present other problems that make learning more difficult in the beginning.

PS, I learned to reload with this great forum, some You tube videos (very few), and the advice of some experienced reloaders. I can load 9 Minor ammo with a Standard deviation of less than 5 all day long. My OALs very +/- 0.002. My last major match ammo chronoed within 4ft per second each round. YOU can do it too! Now for the shooting accurately and moving fast, I have much room for improvement.

Hello Daniel
Welcome on your first posting

I do not see any 16 gauge items listed.

The reloading of 16 gauge will save money, give you
better mental health, a stronger arm, and more fun Smile

As for 9mm, I use a Dillon 1050.

Mike
