Help me choose Reloading Rookie

[Cajun Blake]

There are some decent kit packages out there and I admit I am a beginner

I'm leaning towards the Forster coax with Wilson dies

But a single stage press appears the way to go

this won't work brother

Wilson are inline precision "hand dies" as you need standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies to work with a Forster Co-Ax. Wilson dies require an arbor press made by Sinclair, K&M, 21st Century, etc...

If you decide on the Coax , buy some custom Whidden dies with several bushings to control neck / bullet seating tension

this is how you reload using Wilson hand dies

I caught that too Blake. But Wilson makes threaded sizing dies.

Wow, gotta be a new product line as I never knew

they look like very high quality machine work, as with everything stamped L.E. Wilson

smart move on their behalf since they already have tons of loyal customers

I'm liking the simplicity of this system. If you just wanted to make your 300 blackout subsonic rounds for an AR with new brass is this all I would need? Not needing tons of rounds, just for my suppressed 300. I'm assuming he's using previously fired rounds to clear the primer...I've never reloaded either and with the price of 300's I'm wanting to start putting together my set up. Great thread,

I wouldn't spend the money on Wilson for a 300 bo. Unless benchrest accuracy was your goal.

Thanks to all who responded

Super info

I like .308 and this is in my price range

Some tempting rock chucker kits out there

The T-7 is a no
The Dillon is a no

I need to load a box or two of 6.8 spc

But a single stage press appears the way to go

Thanks for good advice

Really appreciate it

I called Forster today. The promptly answered and referred me to a tech who explained the

"Snap in snap out" die changing

This is a cool feature, I'm impressed

Their lock ring on a die slides in acting as a slide in guide

The lock rings are $7 each

Each time you buy a new die
You buy a $7 lock ring to go with it

I'm thinking the Forster is the way to go

I want 50-100 rounds of precision rifle ammo not 1000 pistol

Thanks again
