I just ordered a Lyman Ideal C-frame press from Amazon. I figured it would be a good starter and should last a lifetime.i need to get the books. I have dies, brass, calipers, and bullets. I need powder, primers, case prep tools, and lube. I'm slowly accumulating what I need. When I get there, I'll be starting with small batches of rifle rounds. If I ever get a magnum revolver(and I'd like a 357) that'll get some press time, too.
