POTTER RELOADING PRESS. Any Good?

[Guest SkinnyKTN]

Hi! I'm looking at getting into reloading. I have been researching and looking for equipment, but still not confident in what I need. Especially brands and models of brands that are better, more user friendly. I came across an antique Potter reloading press. They are asking $300 obo. should I consider this or is it over priced and impossible to find components to work with it? I usually prefer older equipment. Many times the older stuff is built better. It looks more stable than newer stuff. Anyways, I'm wanting to load 7.62x54r now, but will soon be branching out to other calibers once I get the hang of it. Could ya'll please tell me if this loader is worth the $ or anything near the price. Also, what other equipment would you recommend to a new reloader. I would really appreciate a list of everything I need to buy to reload this caliber. I have none of it. I do intend on putting together as good a round as possible for long range shooting. I'm not real interested in the cheapest of the cheap. Thanks for your help!

I have never heard of a Potter press, but for $300 there are a lot of better options out there. Look at Lee, RCBS and Hornady.
