It\u2019s got a brilliant universal shell holder so you don\u2019t need separate holders to fit each and every cartridge type. Of course, it will handle large and small rifle and pistol primers too. The real standout features are comfort and durability. The shape of the grips allows you to prime thousands of cases without cramps or blisters. The all-metal construction means that this unit won\u2019t break. Trust me on that, I\u2019ve broken just about all the other brands.<\/p>\n<p>MSRP on the Universal Hand Priming Tool is $79.45.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/insanelypracticalguides.com\/products\/the-insanely-practical-guide-to-reloading-ammunition\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\">The Insanely Practical Guide to Reloading Ammunition<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insanelypracticalguides.com\/products\/the-insanely-practical-guide-to-reloading-ammunition\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\" class=\"alignright wp-image-48514 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IPG-Reloading-cover-72dpi-300px.jpg\" alt=\"The Insanely Practical Guide to Reloading Ammunition\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IPG-Reloading-cover-72dpi-300px.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IPG-Reloading-cover-72dpi-300px-150x126.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>If your giftee is thinking about getting into reloading or is a new(er) reloader, I would be remiss in not plugging my own book &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/insanelypracticalguides.com\/products\/the-insanely-practical-guide-to-reloading-ammunition\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Insanely Practical Guide to Reloading Ammunition<\/a>. When you learn to play the piano, you need two things &#8211; lessons and sheet music. In the reloading world, the recipe manuals are akin to sheet music. They won\u2019t help you much until you learn the process of reloading your ammunition safely. This book will walk you through the process, start to finish for rifle and pistol caliber reloading. It\u2019s written in practical terms with easy to understand language and lots of pictures. Don\u2019t take my word for it, check out the reviews on Amazon.

These are single-caliber tools, so it\u2019s not the best bet if you plan to do small volumes of many different calibers. However, if you\u2019ve got a bucket of .223, .308 or some other common caliber\u00a0brass, it\u2019s a great solution. Mount the unit to any drill, make a one-time case length adjustment, and you\u2019re off to the trimming races at a pace of 10 per minute or more. I turn my Dewalt drill upside down, hold it steady with a bench vise, zip tie the speed to a medium setting and feed cases by the hundreds. The original model is caliber specific so you need one for each caliber. There\u2019s a newer model with chamber inserts, so adding a new caliber requires a $25 part instead of a whole new trimmer.<\/p>\n<p>Get one for $69.95 plus shipping.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.btibrands.com\/product\/ds-750-digital-reloading-scale\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\">Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Powder Scale<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_48508\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48508\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\" class=\"size-large wp-image-48508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale-1024x799.jpg\" alt=\"This little scale takes up minimal space and better yet, is really inexpensive.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale-1024x799.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale-150x117.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale-384x300.jpg 384w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Frankford-Arsenal-Powder-Scale.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This little scale takes up minimal space and better yet, is really inexpensive.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I used a beam scale for years because I was some type of Luddite purist.

It&#8217;s way faster than using a manual scale to verify a predetermined powder weight and excels at weighing objects (like bullets or completed cartridges) of unknown weight. With a beam scale, you have to tinker and adjust just to find how heavy something is. You won\u2019t have to worry about inaccurate measurements when the batteries run low. It will start wigging out and make it very clear that it\u2019s time for new power.<\/p>\n<p>You can find this one for less than $30 if you shop online.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dillonprecision.com\/#\/content\/p\/9\/pid\/25263\/catid\/8\/Super_Swage_600\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\">Dillon Super Swage 600<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_48509\" style=\"width: 419px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dillon_Super_Swage_600.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48509\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dillon_Super_Swage_600.jpg\" alt=\"Mount the Dillon Super Swage to the bench and you're ready to go.\" width=\"409\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dillon_Super_Swage_600.jpg 409w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dillon_Super_Swage_600-150x147.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dillon_Super_Swage_600-307x300.jpg 307w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount the Dillon Super Swage to the bench and you&#8217;re ready to go.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When you\u2019re loading a big batch of cases, it\u2019s supremely annoying to run into one with a crimped primer pocket.

Without the right tools, it\u2019s a royal pain in the neck to clear. Many folks send the die, with the stuck case inside, back to the die manufacturer for help. Fortunately, there\u2019s a much easier way. A stuck case removal kit has everything you need to remove that jammed in case. A drill bit allows you to create a hole in the cartridge case base which you can thread using the included tap. A bolt and spacer allow you to gently pull the case out of the die using the newly cut threads in the cartridge base. The operation takes just a couple of minutes and won\u2019t damage your reloading dies, so you\u2019ll be back in action in no time. Of course the cartridge case suffers in the process, but that&#8217;s expected.<\/p>\n<p>Available at Brownells for $18.99<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/reloading\/case-preparation\/loading-blocks\/lyman-loading-block-prod55072.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\">Lyman Universal Loading Block<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_48511\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48511\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\" class=\"size-large wp-image-48511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"One can never have too many loading blocks.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Reloading-trays-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One can never have too many loading blocks.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for just a little something and don\u2019t want to spend a lot of money, consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/reloading\/case-preparation\/loading-blocks\/lyman-loading-block-prod55072.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reloaders-holiday-gift-guide\" title=\"Reloader's Holiday Gift Guide\">Lyman Universal Loading Block<\/a>.
