I have calipers already so that one is covered and just 10mm/357 Mag for starting, 9mm will be added at some point. 22TCM is the closest I’ll have to rifle caliber for the foreseeable future and until I have experience I won’t be trying that one.
i’ll look into the other brand ultra sonic cleaners. I don’t really have a good reason for the deprimer, I had the hand primer and decided there should be a hand deprimer. But if I don’t need one that’s an easy off the list.
Swapping to the Lyman drill and dropping the deprimer, gets the total to a much better place.
Is the Lyman scale I have listed a sold choice or should I spend a little more there for a nicer option?
Your die set will come with a die to decap.
Cleaning the brass: You will get lots of opinions on this. Wet tumble, dry tumble,or even just using a scotch bright pad. I dry tumble my brass in the garage. All 3 will clean your brass. Wet cost more and really cleans in side and out. Scotch bright is really cheap but labor intensive. Dry is in the middle.
The Lyman prep tool is the bomb. I really really like it. It's easy to hold in my arthritic hands.
I have used beam scales and even a cheap digital scale. Just have something of a known weight to check calibration. I haven't used the Lyman scale. Someone can chime in on the Lyman. Ik am sure it's fine. If you aren't reloading high volume a good beam scale will get you by. If you were closer to me I'd give you a Lee beam scale. I am spoiled with digital scales. I ponied up and bought the RCBS Chargemaster. It's pricey. And it isn't necessary. Let your budget decide.
I started with this setup: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lee-Precis...304567&hash=item4d674add87:g:pEgAAOSweZJaBnCc
I added a digital scale for about 15 bucks. It came with 2 calibration weights. I checked the weights on a couple other scales and they were dead on. I bought various brand dies and then Lee quick trim dies for the calibers I shoot. I picked up the Lyman prep tool. I started with just 3 calibers for less then $250 for everything. Over the last few years I have added to that setup. It works for me. No regrets.
I really don't think any one makes a junk press.
Single stage, turrets or progressives. We are back to budget range. But JMHO, if you are just starting out the single is the easiest to start with. Especially if you are flying solo. And you can upgrade and you will still find uses for the single. Or sell it or pass it on.
Progressive are great for volume. But I load for target. I try for that last little bit of MOA. And I shoot rifle. If you shoot several hundred rounds a week of pistol or plink a lot of Semi Auto rifle a turret or progressive is probably going to be what you want. You will get a lot of help from fellow Turret/progressive press guys.
I think you are probably on information overload buy now.
Let your budget decide what to buy. You won't have any issues getting rid of a starter single stage press. Just sayin...
