Dies advice

Alright ladies and gentlemen(mostly gentlemen) it’s time for me to actually start reloading I’ve bought everything I need beside dies powders and primers.

I’m a little confused but I think I know the answer but I’ll take some advice and feedback.

I’ll be reloading 300aac blkout (ruger bolt gun & ar-15)

And 45-70 government to start out with. (New marlin 1895 by Ruger lever gun)

What dies should I get I don’t care about the name or who’s better (for now)

I see there is 2/3/4 die sets.

So on 45/70 because it’s a lever gun I want to crimp it correct ? So 3 die ?
I’ll be getting the micrometer sets for both

And on the 300 blk crimp isn’t necessary on the bolt gun but you want a crimp on the ar-15? So 3 die sets also ?

Should I get the 3 die set and call it a day ?

Also should I buy a Lee universal decamping die as well ? These will be my first loads so I’m gonna take my time and listen to your feedback,
They will also be subsonic loads as well

Also do u think 45-70 or 300 aac would be easier to load for starting out?

Sorry for being a new guy and thanks for your help !

Update on journey

So instead of buying a kit I decided to get the 1776 rock chucker and build my own. Me and the wife went down to the city and bought some reloading equipment & I left with a carbon fiber 10/22 as well 🫡 there’s a few more things I have to buy and I’m just chipping away at it. Before buying the actual components. I got a few upgrades and a few basic things it seems I must need. With that being said I’ll be doing mostly small batches for plinking and hunting. Any other suggestions or recommendations? I think I’m covering my bases pretty good and making good head way

Rock chucker 1776

1776 limited edition just came in ! I was just gonna show you guys what it looks like. Let’s get this journey started. Either this or the normal green for the same price. I definitely did a smart move on this one!

Never reloaded before

I’m a very experienced shooter, and I have tons of toys and weapons for various occasions I treat them as my children lol

With that being said it’s about that time I take the leap of faith. I want to get into reloading mostly because I shoot a ton and bullets are not cheap and I also shoot a lot of subsonics.

I shoot a ton of 45-70 300 blkout 556 30/30 6.5 creed 9mm 380 38 357 and 45

I’ve done a good bit of research and I’m honestly a lil overwhelmed. I don’t wanna blow up my house lol and don’t wanna blow up my guns and honestly I have no clue what I should start with. It seems like a single stage would be my go to. I’m ok with doing batches and taking my time because I will not being making a bazillion rounds in one night starting out of course.

What press do u guys think would suit me ? And any advice on starting out and saving a lil money ? I’m ok with forking out the cash but I would like to save what I can if it’s an option

Advice plz
