I am still relatively new to reloading (4-5 years). I started with a RCBS Rock Chucker kit and continue to add as my experience and enjoyment grows. I'm a slow reloader who focuses on precision for the most part. My favorite item I have added to my reloading is the A&D FX 120i scale. I just became frustrated with drifting electronic scales and my balance beam is just hard on my old eyes.
It seems to never end when it comes to things to improve my reloading. What did you buy that you are very satisfied with?

I was using the balance beam before I bought a used charge master.

For me, it was the RCBS ram priming unit. What an inexpensive great way to get consistent priming seating depth. Just feeling by hand, I was always getting inconsistent depths, but that tool really changed the game for me.
 
Favorites: Dedicated hand primer & RCBS Chargemaster. Not a "favorite" but a surprisingly cheap & has the biggest return on investment: Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Case Trim and Prep System. I can plop down on the floor with a pile of brass on a tote lid & mindlessly rough-in the cases while watching TV. I know, it's not fancy but I wanted to highlight that not everything has to be "the best" to reload. (Like most reloading tools you need to develop a repeatable "feel" for using it and can produce excellent results)

I've been eyeing the case prep systems. I bought the Wilson case trimmers and still use hand tools to chamfer and debur case mouths. There seems to be always something that I think I need.
