Reloading press
RCBS Rockchucker hands down. Lots of others out there but as good as they get. Check ebay and buy one cheaper

I agree look for an RCBS Rockchucker. My suggestion is, if you are starting look for one of the kits that has everything in it. I think they call it the Master reloading kit, something like that.
I have a Dillon 650, but I still need my Rockchucker and all the stuff that came with it.

I have to say, as good as the Rockchucker is (and it is great) the new Lee Classic Cast is a better press.
If you start out with a kit to save a bit and get almost all you need, then you can get very good ones from RCBS, Hornady, Redding or Lyman. But If you intend to acquire the hardware a piece at a time, start with the Lee Classic Cast. (The Lee Anniversary Kit contains a much less worthy press.)

The Rockchucker, hands down. Mine is 42 years old and works like new.
