I found the site by googling "reload". Since I was interested in starting to reload for my son and I!

My son is 37 years old and currently has 8 rifles (including his & his wifes, and the grandsons) He also has 4 pistols.

What is the best name in reload equipment, in order of quality and ease of use?

1. Lyman

2. Redding

3. RCBS

etc

Welcome to the HB:thumbs:
all the manufacturers you listed are top quality.
But in my opinion my order of preference is definately
Redding first:wink:
RCBS
then Lyman
that is just personal preference..
I like Redding stuff a lot
and RCBS
I don`t use much Lyman anything
I actually use a lot more Lee than Lyman.
