with this kit what other items does it need to reload 9mm and 45cal.

9mm and 45 acp dies, small and large pistol primers, appropriate pistol powders, projectiles, and good manuals/reliable loaddataand slow careful processing following instructions in an uninterrupted setting.
1946469
you will need 2 sets of dies a 9MM set and a 45 CAL set. you will also need to get a 9MM gauge holder and a 45 CAL gauge holder. apart from powder, lead and primers, that should be all you need.
1946470
Equipment wise you will only need a set of 9mm and 45 lee carbide dies. Though I recommend the lee hand priming tool and universal priming shell holders as the press doesn't prime as fast as you can with that piece.

With this kit it is best to purchase: Lee pistol die set (9mm/.45) .You will need an extra 4 hole turret becuase once you get your dies set just right for one caliber you can simply change out the whole turret instead of each die and having to reset them.Of course primers, bullets, brass and powders.( Bullseye is best for the .45 powder. Unique and win231 will also do well)A nice scale to measure your loads.Lyman reloading manual.And lastly.. digital caliper to measure your over all lenghth of the round. Good luck to ya sir.

You need to get Lee dies for each caliber. I recommend the Lee 4 die pistol set.

You need a set of dies for each caliber. Recommend the 4 die carbide set for each, not the three die set. The 4 die set includes a factory crimp die which does a better job. Also recommend getting another turret disk. They cost about $11 and allow you to change die sets by just changing the disk thereby not disturbing the adjustments. The set comes with one. You also need bullets, powder, primers and some way to clean the shell casings. The primer and powder measuring devices that come with the press are fine. The book is ok and the balance scale works but is slow.

Nothing other than dies for handguns (I reload .40S&W;). I also want to echo George B's comments about getting the 4-die set and another turret. The crimp die, I think, is a must (others may not) and the extra turret makes reloading multiple calibers easier -- one turret per caliber and swap them out as well as the shell casing holder. I did have to buy the rifle riser pass-through die and the auto disk doubling kit for .223. Keep that in mind when/if you reload rifle casings. Good luck and have fun. I really enjoy it once you have everything.

You need to buy the parts to set up for the caliber you wont to load. Dies.Shell plate.bullet die. etc. The press will load Pistol and Rifle.

I believe the .38;.357; 9mm kit would do the job. The size just needs to be close enough to give it a good cleaning.

if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge. If you are just getting started in reloading it was a good setup. I bought a digital scale and a few more dies and a turret spare because I reload rifle and pistol bullets and i did not want to reset the dies each time i used it. if you plan to reload more than a few hundred bullets i would just get the press and get the other components (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFnbwtNoP0), digital grain scale, and a few dies, decapping pins, and primers, powder specific to the bullet being made. if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge.

I can't give a definitive answer to this question but I recently read on the S&W forums that there was no difference in the kit for the 9/40/357 and the kit for the 45. Your best bet would be to check with Apex directly.

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

you will need a small primer assembly kit, and a small case feeder assembly, I also suggest another 5 hole turret if you are changing calibers so you won't have to keep readjusting dies each time you do a caliber change. If you are loading only one caliber(9mm) you can purchase a press with all necessary items included for 9mm.

1 Magazine, 1 hex wrench, a manual, and a small package of bb's. Getting an extra magazine will also get you an extra hex wrench. Only shoot steel bb's, not copper.

You get the case tray and a reloaded bullet trat, u need a bullet tray for the left side and the tool bracket and tools. Ofcorse u also need the caliber dies for what ur teloading. Its a great system, works well when set up prooerly.

Yes: Any RCBS, Hornady, or Lee should work you'll need them to reload, so shouldn't be a problem.

With any reload, you have to purchase different die sets for different caliper. Started with the 45 acp myself but now I reload .44, and .40 caliper. The best thing about the Lee press is that you can reload pistol and rifle a rounds. I do recommend "Lyman reloading hand book" with reloading.

I'm not that familiar with .458 win mag but it uses large rifle primer which will work with the hand priming tool.

Also if you have a .38 special the 9mm brush will work as well. Check out their video on YouTube.

Yes. This kit has brushes for .380/9mm, .40SW, .45ACP/Colt, .223/5.56NATO, .308WIN, and 12 gauge.

Sorry. I can't help you. I only reload 9mm & 40S&W. For those it works great.
