New to reloading and I want a reloader that I can reload 22 hornet, 9mm, 223, and 264wmag rounds with. Any suggestions on a brand to get? RCBS, Lee, Hornady?

My vote would be for RCBS.

Any of the above will work. I like RCBS (the master kit is great), but add to those...Redding, Dillon, Lyman, etc, you really can't go too wrong. lee will be cheaper than most by far. And you will know why if you compare any of their stuff to anyone else's directly. but accurate ammo can be loaded with any of them.

I purchased a Lee Breech Lock Challenger Kit about 2 years ago for $95 and a Cabelas tumber kit for $65.

I'm very pleased with Lee products. I had one small problem with Lee equipment and that was a broken auto prime arm after about 2000 rounds. I contacted Lee and they replaced it free of charge. I've since learned to apply a little bit of grease to the arms moving surfaces and the no more problems.

Lee's customer and technical services are outstanding. Give them a call and they will answer any question you have.

I started out loading 243 and now load 22-250, 7mm mag, 38 special, 357 mag and 40 S&W. The die sets run betwen $30 and $40.

I see no reason to move on to the more expensive equipment so I'm sticking with Lee.

I have considered purchasing a Lee 4 hole turret press to speed production on pistol rounds. But I will always use the Challenger press for rifle rounds. The accuracy is much better than factory and the cost per round is much cheaper.

Thats my experience, I hope it helps.

Some do not like LEE, but I do, I have RCBS, LYMAN and Herters and 2 LEE. Lee customer service is great

I own a Lee Deluxe Reloading Kit and love it. Its great and I have zero compliants

I did not buy a kit but I did go with a RCBS press. After using it I would buy the RCBS master kit.

RCBS master kit.

Never used Lee's customer service. But I can attest to Redding's. I had a seating stem that didn't quite match the ogive of a bullet I was using last year. this was causing me run-out fits. Called them up and fully expected to pay money for the right part. Four days later the new/right seater stem was in my mail box, free of charge. The tech knew exactly what I needed and didn't quibble about it for a second.

Thanks for the information. I was thinking of the RCBS and think my mind is made up. Is there a powder that yall would reccomend that I could start out with?

"22 hornet, 9mm, 223, and 264wmag" quite the diversity of cartridges. No one powder will be optimum for all those.

Some of my favorites are Hodgdon powders:
22 Hornet lil Gun 223 depends on what Bullet you are loading Benchmark and Varget are usually what I use.
264 Win mag. I actually have a second set of dies for this round that I would part with give me a PM if interested. H1000 is my powder of choice here.
9mm I have not loaded for.

Skiffboat, you will find when reading the manual(s) that there are a different range for powder/bullet/primer/case mixes.

Not to scare you off but I probably have a dozen different powders on my shelf and an untold number of different bullet weights. Some rifles perform best with one recipe and some another.

Some of this stuff can get pretty elitist.

I was looking a while back and I was told RCBS for precision and Lee for speed/volume.

X2 Just read the manual. They are a wealth of info. I have tried lots of powder/ bullet combos. There is no magic combo because each barrel is going to be different. And dont just use the Speer manual that comes in the kit. Get a couple of manuals and compare them. If you see the same powder showing up again and again then take that as a good place to start. The best advice that I can give you is dont get furstrated real fast if you dont find "the " load right off the bat. Thats the great the about reloading.....you get to shoot alot to find what your rifle likes. That will make you a better shot in the long run. Good Luck ...its addiciting!

Another vote for Lee here, I just reload for the fun of it, not a precision shooter, still I can produce better ammo than I buy over the counter.

RCBS has always been affordable and excellent quality and they stand behind their products.

Lee aniversery kit, comes with everything but the dies and components....and a set of calipers

For $150.00 you can be ready to roll and truthfully its all you need
