Handloading question

[danny1975]

Been thinking about getting on reloading . Does hornady makes good equipment ? Been thinking about getting the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Single Stage Press Deluxe Kit from midway. The only caliber I will be loading is 243, 270, 3006 and possibly 338 win mag . Any info will help . Thanks

If you have never handloaded before, try to find someone who does. Ask them if you can come over when they are loading and pick their brain. Watch videos on youtube, read manuals, but if you can find someone who will let you watch you will be way ahead of the game.

I have heard nothing but good about the Hornady stuff. But if you talk to enough people you will find someone who has had a bad experience with it.

I used RCBS equipment for 25 years and didn't have any complaints. I got a Forster press and dies about a year ago and wish I had got one from the beginning. I have since sold off most of my RCBS stuff. I also don't load for a variety of calibers any more.

My family fbeen relaoading been loading all there life and I have reloaded some of there stuff. Just thinking about getting my own . I'm deciding between hornady or rcbs . There's stuff I like about both of them

I'd say ones just as good as the other. Just depends whether you favor green or red.
