Hi David,

That is a big question and has many directions :)

My suggestion would be to start with the following - Lets assume you buy a LG in 6BR

A good Press - I really like the Forster Co Ax

A quality set of dies.  I like redding competition series, but there are plenty of good ones out there.

A set of scales and powder thrower.  Top end is something like the A&D FX120I and auto thrower.... but a chargemaster, or even a simple thrower and good beam scale will get you going.

A quality set of digital callipers and a set of bullet comparators (hornady lock and load set are good enough).

A modified case and OAL gauge (again hornady is fine).

Some reloading trays

A bullet puller (the hammer type kinetic ones are cheap and effective.

A Priming tool (a hand one, I don't like the ones on the press)

A champher and debur tool

A powder funnel kit

A couple of boxes of Lapua 6mmBR Brass

AR2208 Powder

CCI-BR4 Primers

Your favourite 95-108 grain projectile (probably copperhead 103's or berger 105's).

A good reloading manual (and time to read it).

A solid bench to do it al on and you are good to go.....

There is plenty more you can buy, but I wouldn't start out with neck turning, meplat trimming, pointing, concentricity gauges or the like until you have mastered the basics and are getting good results.  You can then chase the eternal pursuit of perfection..... but it very much abides by the law of diminishing returns.

Cheers

Anthony
