What else do I have to buy in order to start reloading (besides primer strips, powder, casings and bullets?)

Get a good electronic scale and micrometer and case prep tools for your caliber. Also you will need a shell plate and dies for your caliber. Also at least one reloading book or load data from the powder mfg. I would look at load data before selecting powder.

reloading dies( get carbide) for each caliber you want to reload a reloading manual will also be needed

You will need Shell Plates and Reloading Dies (specific to the caliber you are reloading). You will need the shell plates made for the Pro 2000, the reloading dies can be any make as long as the are 7/8-14 thread. The press comes with one (1) Die Plate, you can order more if you have multiple calibers to reload.

A scale, be it balance beam or digital (don't skimp on this). A bullet puller and case trimmer tool.

Calipers are a must. I would start with pistol loads first if possible. Read "The ABc's of Reloading" I found it at the library. It helped a lot.

Not Normally. Some kits may come with a set but if it does they will be listed by what caliber so you will know what you are getting.Normally the dies are separate because there are so many different calibers you would not want to get them all just the calibers you are going to be reloading.expect to pay anywhere from around $35.00 and up for a set of dies.

In comes in a carboard box, (not plastic, lockable), has one set of cartridges and reloader. You'll need to purchase the BBs.

The casing I got were previously fired. However after putting them through the tumbler, and popping the old primer's out I didn't have any issues reloading them. I don't remember having any cases that were not usable.

I load 9MM, 40S&W, 308 Win, 270 Win, 30-06 Springfield, and 35 Rem. I plan on loading 45 ACP and 357 Mag when I get the dies. You're only limited by imagination, and of course dies and brass. The Lee Classic Turret Press serves me perfectly. Good luck...

You will have to buy dies and shell plate for each caliber you want to load. Some calibers can share a plate. It comes with large and small priming system. Get the lock and load bushings if you get this unit - it makes caliber changes the fastest and easiest of any out there

A digital scale!!!! Then buy another digital scale to keep that one in check. And bc ur loading 223 u will need trimmer. ..also need calipers.... go to you tube and type in reloading equipment or how to reload 223 you will find good info on supplies BUT!!!!!! DO NOT LEARN TO RELOAD FROM YOUTUBE..... DO NOT USE ANY LOAD DATA FROM YOUTUBE ONLY THING U SHOULD USE OFF YOU TUBE IS THE SUPPLIES LISTS. AND GET ONE OR 2 MORE QUALITY BPOKS. THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THIS SET IS A BIG ADVERTISMENT

This is just the machine. You will need a caliber conversion kit and set of dies for the caliber you intend to load. The machine does include a Powder Die that holds a powder funnel. The powder funnel is part of the caliber conversion kit that is purchased separately.

Nothing other than dies for handguns (I reload .40S&W;). I also want to echo George B's comments about getting the 4-die set and another turret. The crimp die, I think, is a must (others may not) and the extra turret makes reloading multiple calibers easier -- one turret per caliber and swap them out as well as the shell casing holder. I did have to buy the rifle riser pass-through die and the auto disk doubling kit for .223. Keep that in mind when/if you reload rifle casings. Good luck and have fun. I really enjoy it once you have everything.

If you plan on doing the whole reloading operation on that one press, then you should only need just the one she'll holder. I myself use an RCBS press for everything except the priming operation. I use a Lee auto primer for that, so I need an RCBS, and a Lee shell holder.

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.

Buy the kit for the 223 you can go to 9mm with new dies and shell carrier 223 is the biggest this line of reloading press can handle

I'm sorry I missed the thread your question was following. The brass is once fired brass and it the primers are both small and large pistol primers. Most of the primers will be large pistol primers. Some ammo manufactures use both large and small primers so you will need to spend some time sorting through this shipment. But if reloading is something you already do as a hobby, you won't mind. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The FIRST thing you need to do is IGNORE the MAGNUM primer remark Brad! There is a reason they make STANDARD primers. The 9mm round is a small round generally taking little powder for a "standard" load. Sure, you(or someone) could also use the most potent powder on the market, but it doesn't make it wise. Generally speaking, reloading is nothing more than recipes are to baking...they ARE GUIDELINES FOR A REASON! Don't START with Magnum primers!

Primers, primer pockets and priming tools are standardized so the answer is yes. You will have to purchase the appropriate case holder. This tool is for metallic cartridges, not for shot shell cases. From your question, I would guess you are new to reloading and suggest you get a good reloading manual.
