I'm going with shooting supplies. ear muffs, cartridges, sand bags, safety glasses, and maybe a scope.

Good point rclark, 2 posts down. I change my answer to dies, brass, bullets and powder..

Since this is a reloading forum.... reloading equipment would be my guess.

And i brought these back from your not-so-distant Hamburg store in Pa dude, what a store oh my god!! Stayed there a couple hours then had to go to work, it felt like I had just gotten there. SO much more stuff to see, especially at the reloading section.
Here are the goods :
You can tell me if I forgot anything on my shopping spree. I am a happy man..

A decent press!! That is gonna be more like a workout!
It will help teach all the basics, but IMHO you need at least a single stage press, that one is good for at range loading.

Let us know how it goes.

The whole buy was $313 (already kinda a lot) and that little press was 50 bucks, not a real loss. I was actually planning on doing load development at the range but I decided I would not be doing that after all. I WILL buy a turret or pro 1000 after I shoot these 200 development loads to see what I want to mass produce. Good thing is I got the dies which are compatible with any press in the future.

Well I was planning on using the powder scale everytime for my first 200 rounds, and that little funnel I bought. I WILL get the powder measure with the next press, soon...

edit: well actually it is funny you mention it, I was gonna buy one but the store didn't have it by itself, only sold with the Lee Pro 1000 Press kit and I believe in a Turret Press kit.
I remember that pi$$ed me off quite a lot in fact, that they did not have that.

I have one question for you guys, quick tips on setting up the crimping die>?? The instructions are a little vague..
