What are your available options
Academy in Columbus had Hornady dies in your caliber the other evening. Most of everything is still present too
Thanks, this what I am trying to learn.
I am just starting out.
I will guess I want to load jacketed modern bullets.
Not seeing me using cast lead bullets.
I am wanting the proper kit from the start, without the constant upgrade cycles.
Thinking ahead, that's smart
I have an old rcbs rock chucker single stage and have always bought rcbs dies. Earlier this year I was wanting to reload 45/70 and impulse purchased a hornady set off the shelf at cabela's because it was available when hardly anything was and they were offering some kind of rebate deal to boot. (Free Hornady projectiles I believe).
It is a quality set and I've reloaded about 400 rounds, both cast and jacketed, through them with great results.

When I loaded 45-70 it was with Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension dies. They work great!
