Thinking of buying a refill and supplies kit? This is just a quick introduction to all the supplies you will need to start recharging. A few others that are additional that maybe do it a little faster.

So if you are looking to buy recharging equipment, here is the list of essential equipment that will help you recharge.

Reloading Equipment

  1. Book

The first thing you need is a helpful book to recharge. This is a Hornady book. There are different books and a cartridge refilling manual.

 

  1. Box trimmer

Another thing that you will need is that you will need a case trimmer. A box trimmer is a miniature lathe that can accurately cut excess brass from the end of a box neck. This is also from Hornady, now it comes with everything. You will have to buy a case so that you also put one on the press. I'll only leave one in the trimmer.

 

  1. Box lubricant

The next important thing to refill is box lube. Case lubricant is always required when resizing bottleneck cases. It's important to note that too much box lube can be a bad thing and will dent the brass and ultimately ruin it, while too little box lube will cause the boxes to get stuck inside the refill die.

  1. Scale

A scale is a necessary tool for recharging. Using too much or too little powder are situations that can become dangerous under the right circumstances. A good powder scale will give you accurate measurements to make sure you are loading the correct amount of powder in your ammunition. There are 2 types of scale: mechanical or electronic scale. It's always used to make sure your powder dispenser is releasing the desired amount each time.

 

  1. Powder dispenser

A powder drop dispenser, such as the RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure, is a device that allows you to specify a certain amount of powder to dispense with each pull of a lever.

 

  1. Caliper

Calipers are an important tool that should be in your refill kit. A caliper helps to measure things accurately.

 

  1. Press

The press is one of the most important refill tools that you should have in your kit. This is the tool you will use to perform the most important parts of the recharging process.
