Marrakai, reloading in Spain used to be illegal and everyone did it then they made it legal but with a big exam and no one does it. I think this just means everyone does it still but ignores the law. I know a lot of people cross the border to Portugal to get their "supplies". Here is a question for some of you. Suppose I want to reload 4 calibres, 6.5 X 54 MS, .30-06, .375 [Email]H@H[/Email] rimmed and .500 3" NE, what press and dies would you recommend. I have been advised RCBS are the best. I would also need powder scales, chamfers etc. I already have the Nosler, Hornady, A Square (not to be relied on I hear), Lymans reloading catalogues and lastly, a tough one, which one powder for each calibre will suit me assuming heavier bullet weights in each on the calibres, i.e. 160 in the 6.5, 180-200 in the .30-06, 300 in the .375 and standard 570 in the .500 NE. Jabali, I guess you are in the industry in the UK. Do I need a UK firearms cert to buy reloading gear or will a Spanish and/or EEC cert suffice ? What will be my outlay for the above ?

Sorry Mike - didn't see this before. Next time you are in the UK check out Reloading Solutions near Oxford.... You don't need a license for the equipment, just the powder, bullets and cases. Cases wouldn't be problem if you buy 100 or so Kynoch to begin with. As for presses, the RCBS is good, but you could also look at the Forster Co-Ax but I can't say for certain if it will take the 470 or 500 (you might need bigger jaws for the case holder).
