I’m just now getting my own reloading setup. I have a buddy who has all the gear that I’ve been using. But, I’ve decided I want my own stuff and stop driving over to his place. Starting from scratch though, it’s hard to imagine this ever “saving” me money when you factor in all the equipment. Just today, I spent $80 on a press stand, $30 on shell holders, $100 on brass, $60 in case gauges, $25 on a funnel, $35 on check weights, $20 on sizing wax, $25 on another manual and $300 in dies. And I can already feel my mind talking me into needing a new gun to shoot this shiny new ammo.
But, I’m not getting into reloading to save money. For me it’s about having more control over my ammo options and performance. And I think it’s fun.
