Alright guys, here is your chance.

I am going to buy a new press, dies, powder thrower, etc. etc.
All new equipment.

I am giving my 20 to 30 year old stuff to my son-in-law.

All essentials and of course a few extras.

Majority of the time, I shoot rifles and a few pistols. I require extreme accuracy / always in the .250 to .500 groups with my rifles. When I shoot a 1 inch group, that is a bad day. That goes for my 223, 2 20 S, 22.250, 25.06, and 308.

What would you get and what would you add to it and why?

Co-Ax press and Forster BR dies since you`ll need their rings to use any other die in the Co-Ax except Hornadies dies.

This is the most amazing measure I`ve seen, let alone operated. I just bought one and am very impressed.

I still feel the beam type scales are the best bet for the money. I`ve a Pact and my old RCBS 10-10 gets 10Xs the use.

Stoney Point makes some simple bullet comparators that are a big aid in setting your COL

Try to stay with carbide dies for your straight walled pistol cases. Rcbs work as well as any for this but again with the Co-Ax you`ll need Forster lock rings for them.

If you are getting .250" to .500" groups currently, why change? Just curious. It seems unlikely that new equipment will provide better groups. All the best...
