My uncle called this morning from a yard sale and he got me a all rcbs stuff rock chucker press scale powder measurer lube kit he said everything I need except dies for 100 bucks all in llike new condition most in original packaging with papers.

 

So I cant wait to get started I plan to load for the following

 

204 ruger

25.06

270wsm

7mm mag

7mm08

300 hh

plus what ever new gun I decide to buy tomarrow either a 264 win mag or 257 wby

 

I think I will get my feet wet with the 204 sice components are less money and I have more brass available.  I have reloaded shotshells for years but that is a whole other animal I know.

My uncle is pretty deep into reloading so I doubt he will not hook me up with exactly what I need I know he has more than enough stuff to spare.

I picked up my stuff todayhave not had much chance to go through it thouroughly yet but I know I need a powder reservoirthe one on the measurere has powder stuck to it I think I should just replace it.

 

I got the rock chucker press lube kit powder measurere scale de bur tool for 100 bones I think its fair.

 

Picked up some dies and a few misc items and a hand primertoday to help me get going

 

Where do you suggest I look for a powder reservoir rcbs?  I tried my usual suspects but maybe I need some new ones
