[QUOTE="rebelracer79, post: 1485075, member: 69"] When talking reloading, just like anything else bulk is best. save more that way. Just to give you an idea, I started with the lee press kit. I bought everything I needed in one swoop, press kit came with virtually every tool needed, but I also got dies, a tumbler, media for the tumbler, 500 pcs. 223 brass, 500 .223 bullets a pound of powder, a thousand primers and a reloading manual, I think I was in for around 350-375 startup. Within a week I had the system down, now a couple years later, I can go and load around 100-150 rounds an hour on my single stage lee press (brass that has been sized and processed). now to put this in perspective, the .223 ammo I was loading (55gr. Hornady V-max) would have ran me at least $20/box(20) I was loading it for around 7-8. Then I went to loading .30-06 and the ammo I was loading then Was 165gr Hornady sst, they would have ran me around $25/box, I was loading them for 11. You can ask yourself, "Is this going to save me money?" but most generally the answer is no, simply because You will find that you shoot alot more for about the same cost as you were shooting the factory loads. Just my thoughts, but be warned, once you start it is very hard not to get addicted. [/QUOTE]
