It's spendy to get started. Thankfully I have a press and a bunch of other stuff otherwise I'd be in the same boat. Just getting geared up to hand load a new cartridge isn't cheap. It's way cheaper than my 300wm though.Shamefully, I haven’t reloaded yet. I ran out of time and money to buy the equipment. I found that Hornady Black that shoots 75BTHP less than 1.2 MOA and it’s cheap, so I’ve been shooting that until I actually start reloading.
