Can you prime the bullet with this set? Or do you need something in addition to this? (I'm new to reloading.)

It depends. If you have a press that has a priming arm, you'll be all set. If not, you'll need to prime off the press.

No you can't, you need a priming tool. Or if you get a Lee press, it comes with it.

Not with this one. I have these on my Dillon 550 press, it has a priming/de-capping station. Sorry about that.

You can contact Lyman customer support is great and they will answer your questions. I personally don't use the press for priming. I use a hand primer, RCBS or Lyman-both are great quality.

You can prime on the press. The set up also comes with a seperate priming tray for off press priming. Instructions are included.

With this kit it is best to purchase: Lee pistol die set (9mm/.45) .You will need an extra 4 hole turret becuase once you get your dies set just right for one caliber you can simply change out the whole turret instead of each die and having to reset them.Of course primers, bullets, brass and powders.( Bullseye is best for the .45 powder. Unique and win231 will also do well)A nice scale to measure your loads.Lyman reloading manual.And lastly.. digital caliper to measure your over all lenghth of the round. Good luck to ya sir.

So the answer to your question is YES. The "ram prime" will replace your primer. This is a basic press, and for EACH caliber you intend to reload, you must purchase a die set specific to that caliber. The die set includes a 'decapping die' that removes the spent primer. You also must purchase a shellholder to hold the cartridge in the press.

With this kit you will need die set,case trimmer, I choose the lee die set and lee trimmer they are a good value and accurate a caliper either dial or digital that should about do it ,if you run across crimped brass hornaday makes a good primer pocket reamer and one of the best bullet pullers in case you seat your bullets to deep or make mistakes along the way me myself I chose a tumbler to clean the brass and a decapping die along with a digital scale ,a rcbs case lube pad with neck cleaning brushes and a few other goodies along my way

if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge. If you are just getting started in reloading it was a good setup. I bought a digital scale and a few more dies and a turret spare because I reload rifle and pistol bullets and i did not want to reset the dies each time i used it. if you plan to reload more than a few hundred bullets i would just get the press and get the other components (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFnbwtNoP0), digital grain scale, and a few dies, decapping pins, and primers, powder specific to the bullet being made. if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge.

Yes, all you need is the dies kit. This press is amazing to fully reload any caliber

Yes. Very nice set for the price. Use mind for reloading so accuracy a must.

you will need a small primer assembly kit, and a small case feeder assembly, I also suggest another 5 hole turret if you are changing calibers so you won't have to keep readjusting dies each time you do a caliber change. If you are loading only one caliber(9mm) you can purchase a press with all necessary items included for 9mm.

The priming process is on the downstroke of the press. You have a piece that fits into the center bar that will set a small or large primer depending on the size you need. The power hopper does come with the kit.

The loader should come with on already set up with the calibers you ordered. You only should need to by one.

NO, you will also need some calipers, a way to clean your brass, a way to trim your brass (especially if reloading Rifle, not so much for Pistol), more breach lock bushings for each die unless you want to set up each one every time you use them, a better scale since the one included is not very desirable, then add your consumables (Brass, Bullets, Primers, Powder, Brass Cleaners, Sizing Lube). A bullet puller is a must for reloading for those OOPS moments.

No, that is included with your reloading dies. This is a good reloading press. I have reloaded hundreds of rounds with it. Well worth the money

It's a really good kit for a beginner. I knew nothing about reloading when I started. I'm currently reloading 308, 30-06, 25-06. The only thing you will need is bullets, powder, primers, and brass. A digital scale is nicer to have but the one it comes with works well.

It comes with its own auto primer in the box and yes you can reload any of them calabers with this press. All you have to do is buy the dies in what cartridges you need,lee,RCBA,Lyman,redding and foster they all work in this press
