As you begin you will need ammo boxes, comparator set, tumbler, and as you progress you will want to check into a case trimmer, annealer, bullet puller, neck expander, chronograph. Every body dives into what ever level they choose.
Ammo box, that's a great one. We are also going to release a more "all-in" equipment video for people that want to crawl way into the rabbit hole. Everything you mentioned is a part of that one, with many more items.
I've been reloading for 35 years and still don't have a micrometer seating die. I do have a lot of reloading manuals and would advise that be your first item.
Any plans to offer an Area 419 Zero Press kit with many of the items here included? Even at a premium it seems like there’s a market for those that may want to buy once and cry once.
Broo! Where can I get that platen and tray for my matchmaster? Also I just got the zero press it is awesome! But I have been getting some vibration feedback when lowering the ram just before the shell holder goes back down.. it seems if I pull up (like pulling the handle out while going up) on the handle while lowering the ram it is the only way to prevent it.. I've also only had it for a week
CM Lite and Matchmaster are the "same" but we have seen enough variance in the receptacles over time that selling them and knowing they'll fit/work right every time has become difficult.
Neck-only sizing isn't a consistent option, as you will eventually have to FL size to get the brass to chamber, so each time you load and neck-size, the case will be a little different in dimension, then you'll need to FL size and it will be much different, and this isn't a process that breeds consistency.
@@area419 I need to reload 300 win mag. If I did both neck sizing and FL, what would happen? I understand that if I had to choose between FL and neck sizing FL would be better, but what if I opted for both processes? Thanks
@@Riccardo_V_Florio One run through a proper full-length size die does everything you need. It will also appropriately size the neck. Running thorough both is unnecessary and over time will harden the necks of your brass, unless you have a consistent annealing regiment.
@@AlbertKuris The concessions that need to be made to the core function/design of the press to allow for priming are not worth it, and in every other example of on-press priming you get a system that is lacking in some meaningful way.
@@area419 thanks for the reply. Understand your reasoning. Would be a good outcome though if an add on, between the ram and shell holder, could’ve be used. Something that’s removable so it won’t comprise the process.
That binder clip on the primer tray is a pro level hack! Thanks for that...
Lots of cussing at the primer tray later, we're now living in the future.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what's it for?
@@maxmichael5143 so that the top doesn't accidentally come off and spill your precious primers all over the place...
I was just cursing mine and thinking about taping it shut last night
@@5x5precision86 it’s actually doing more than just that, it keeps the sliding bar that shuts off primer flow from working its way down
Depriming and cleaning brass are something to mention. The informal binder clip tip was worth the price of admission!!
I sometimes wonder what I'd buy and how clean my bench would be if I had to start over and only get the things I use and need.
Great video!
Dude, Giraud Power Case Trimmer. Trim, chamfer, deburr all in one machine. Does an excellent job and is darn fast .Worth every penny, guaranteed.
that one is absolutely on our bench and will be in the "here's how far it can go" video

@@area419 can you provide a link to the “All In” video please?
Can’t wait to see the all in video

Lol
I'll take two of everything on the table please!

Check weight set for your scale or dispenser.
Match Master platen where do I get one ?????? You have one for the Charge Master
Ballistic tools primer pocket checker.
I want one of those master scales
Wanna see your entire setup now
Do you guys sell a powder cup / tray for the Mastchmaster? I didn't think the tray from a Chargemaster would fit a Matchmaster. Maybe I'm wrong?
CM Lite and Matchmaster are the "same" but we have seen enough variance in the receptacles over time that selling them and knowing they'll fit/work right every time has become difficult.
I'm new to the reloading world, why neck sizing dies shouldn't be used? Thanks.

Can you guys please sell me a powder pan for my matchmaster? I'm tired of spilling TAC all over my bench.
How do you prime on the Zero press?
There is no provision for priming on the press with a ZERO.
@@area419 Why not? That would be immensely valuable.

You forgot trimmer lol for cases
AND how much was all of that ?
Can probably get it done for $300, or can spend $10k, as we note in detail to start the video.
You need a good reloading manual.
Multiple manuals.
Trimmer !
