    buy quality as you start out..... lee single stage press will get you sorted, but buy quality dies such as redding or forester..... they are excellent.... get yourself a few reloading manuals ...... hornady book of cartridge reloading and lee's modern reloading are good.... tumbler, vernier calipers, primer pocket cleaner, deburring tool, priming tool.... lee hand primer or better quality.... scales, you can go manual, or digital, again quality stay away from the lee ones there pants... rcbs, redding, are good.... powder trickler... i may of forgot bits and p

    DO not skimp on the cleaning rod.... go for a dewey, or similar quality coated rods....... and get yourself a bore guide to go with it..... reloading solutions have the dewey's in stock... as should any good dealer.... Snap.

    thanks Jd and Muttle... i was thinking along the lines of the 70-300 iii is but i read some reviews and they were pretty poor..... currently in the range i have a 18-55 canon... lens and the tamron 55-200 di macro zoom... fairly impressed with it but looking for a little more quality, lets just say wildlife..... i'll be looking for a good macro lens too, i'm thinking this is gonna get a little expensive before its all over..... i've taken some lovely pics of dogs and pups for a friend, and was really chuffed the way they came out... i have to admitt i'm a

    With very much respect SS whilst I would agree that WD 40 may remove some of the carbon from the bore where it lies thinly in the bore, but the main build up of carbon occurs in the throat of the bore and WD 40 will not remove this. Just about the only way to remove this is by using a paste very sparingly such as J B Compound. Peter quite rightly mate, i'm reffering to light carbon build up that can be removed with a soak and scrub of wd..... if thebore is looked after of course....

    phos. brushes can be used to get the crud out if the rifle barrel has been neglected for a term..... and a copper cleaning routine will show little signs of copper if using these brushes... nylon brushes are fine... a bore guide is necessary........ i use WD 40 and a phos brush, and do a few passes through the bore. wait 10 mins, apply more WD to the brush and do about 20 passes... this removes the carbon particles that the nylon brush simply won't shift.... then back to patches and solvent.... Snap.

    the good thing about my love of music is that she can just play it once she hears it so i enjoy listening to all things from the piano perspective... i do fiddle with the guitar the odd time but its been a while since i made noise with the strings...hehe Cheers guys.. Snap.
