    RCBS Rockchucker press. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/513567/rcbs-rock-chucker-supreme-single-stage-press RCBS scale. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/232621/rcbs-m500-mechanical-powder-scale Lee Powder Dippers. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/943305/lee-improved-powder-measure-kit Forster Case Trimmer. The RCBS trimmer works too. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/614276/forster-original-case-trimmer-kit Satern aluminum anti-static funnels, caliber specific. they fit the necks well and powder does not cling to the funnel. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/294705/satern-powder-funnel-264-caliber-65mm-aluminum-and-brass Priming tool. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/582486/frankford-arsenal-platinum-series-perfect-seat-hand-priming-tool Reloading Trays. I like the base specific ones rather than universal as they hold the case better. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1019379134/national-metallic-reloading-tray-50-round Shell Holders. https://www.midwayusa.com/s?targetLocation=%2F_%2FN-19786%2B4294967253%3FNp%3D2%26Nr%3DAND%28p_visible%3A1%2Ccustomertypeid%3A1%29%26Nrpp%3D24%26Ns%3Dp_metric_sales_velocity%7C1%26Ntpc%3D1%26Ntpr%3D1&userItemsPerPage=48&persistedItemsPerPage=0 Case OAL Gauge.

There are many options and brand to choose from. Above is what I use. Others may have less or more essential tools and preferences. Most of the powder and bullet companies provide reloading data online. One can also spend more and get power trimmers, RCBS or Frankford power case prep center, and RCBS Chargemasters, case neck turners, concentricity gauges, flash hole uniformers, high quality Lapua Norma brass. As 10Turkeys said, a lot depends on how much you shoot, spare time to reload and range time to test loads, $ to invest. Factory ammo is much better than 30 years ago and sometimes a good factory load is not worth trying best by handloading, unless you like just trying different bullets for S&G like I do.

    Thanks Stallone. I have not had any problem with this RF. When doing research before I purchased it, the Leica had the lowest dispersion of the beam. I currently have the Leica 1600B

    Fall on the Peaks

    Often I head to southwest Colorado and the San Juan Mountains to photograph the aspen colors at the end of September. Last year, I journeyed to the Grand Tetons. This year however, I stayed home and photographed the San Francisco Peaks just outside of Flagstaff. Colors were nice and we were blessed with some snow on the mountain. A complete set of images can be seen on the website too. https://www.plateaulightphotography.com/Landscapes/Arizona-Landscapes/Fall-on-the-Peaks-2018/ Thanks for looking.

    Finally got a good one...

    Congrats on a nice double and completing your Coues quest of 100"
  13. I have read many good results with Berger VLDs and Scenars on deer. The 147 ELDM is getting good reviews too. You might try seating the ABLR a little deeper so they have a jump like a VLD. You did not say how far off the lands you were. http://www.bergerbullets.com/vld-making-shoot/ I had poor luck with accuracy of 129LRAB in my 6.5CM, but have not tried them in my 6.5WSM. I had good accuracy success with H1000 and Ramshot Magnum, but not Retumbo using 130 Accubonds, 130 Sciroccos and 130 Bergers. Are your 3-shot groups a sample of 1 and possible flukes? Try a few 5-shot groups with each load.
