    WTB: Reloading Tools for New Reloader

    Christmas is just around the corner and a very good friend has finally decided to get into reloading. So far, he has five reloading manuals, an RCBS Rock Chucker press, a Harrell's powder measure for reloading rifle cartridges and an RCBS universal priming tool on its way from his fiancee. I figure a few more items would make a good Christmas present for him. I would be interested in these items, especially if they were made in the US:

    - [Found] a good analog scale (I'm partial to the the older Ohaus-made scales),
    - [Found]a powder measure for pistol reloading,
    - case tumbler,
    - [Found]reasonably-priced dial calipers (I suspect the RCBS/Dillon/Hornady are all made by the same manufacturer),
    - reloading dies for several rifle and pistol calibers (.357, 9X18 Makarov, 7.62X39, 25-35 Win),
    - a powder trickler (the RCBS Trickler 2 looks about right),
    - other small items of which you can think.

    Thank you,
    Richard

    I have an NIB set of RCBS 30 carbine dies and shell holder you can have for the price of postage.

    One (1) little Dandy Measure w/cap and one (1) only plastic cartridge funnel.
    Three rotors #10, #11 and #16.
    Price is shipping amount deposited in Salvation Army Kettle at your location.

    Looked for shipping carton and found RCBS measure stand and another plastic end and flat metal measure holder.
    Looking like USPS medium FRB.
    Thanks.

    in my opinion the best dial calipers youll find are on amazon and theyre made by fowler. for $40 you cant beat them. and I have 2 older pairs that use daily and they still work great. the lenses are cracked and scratched but they hold zero.

    I have an extra set of SPI digital dial calipers. As those CB members that have done me favors with free items I would like to pay it forward . PM me the mailing address and I'll ship the dial calipers for free.

    Cleaning in the man cave today I came across a couple RCBS load blocks, PM me with an address and I will get them out when the weather permits (weatherman says we are supposed to get around a foot of snow tonight).
