More valuable for reloads

Describe your rifle. What size groups do you shoot. Sometimes just good enough is ok. Work on shooter skills.

My rifle is a Tikka T3x Varmint in 223 cal. I shoot mainly 300 yds off a bench and get 1 1/2" groups

Redding big boss ii is a beast and for sizing will be as consistent as anything.... I've tested it.

The redding t-7 is great.... and very consistent. Nearly as consistent as the big boss ii. But if you have more than 3 calibers you will need to switch out dies anyway....

A second press can be really handy. A Co ax mainly for bullet seating would be handy.... or an arbor press with Wilson micrometer dies makes things simple with bullet seating.

When working up loads i like wide nodes so one single kernel doesn't make a difference.

Beam scale set at eye level with a trickler next to it makes things easy, cheap, and accurate. Dump tiny bit under and trickle up.

Chargemaster can be made to limit drift but i always struggled with drifting scale.

V4 auto trickler is awesome but expensive and honestly i think the new precision ingenuity trickler is going to be better.

I would vote arbor press and inline micrometer Wilson dies if you want to make things easier
