[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3633186, member: 27673"] I can't recall what I paid back then but when I started reloading back in the mid 80's I purchased the single stage Rock Chucker Master Reloading Kit, that I still use, and it had everything in it I needed........of course you're also going to need brass, primers, powder, bullets, dies and a shell holder to get started. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Kit.jpg"]221778[/ATTACH] Factory loaded ammo seems to be a little more available now than it was a few months ago but reloading components like powder, bullets [B]and especially primers[/B] still can be hard to locate and can be pretty costly when you do find them compared to pre-Wuhan prices. If you're thinking about starting reloading just to save money on store bought ammo by the time you purchase the above kit, dies, shell holders, powder, primers and brass etc you'll probably be out $600.00 to $700.00 so unless you plan on doing [B]a lot[/B] of shooting or plan on loading wildcat ammo I'd venture to say that it will take several thousand rounds before you'll see any actual savings on your initial investment. I've always really enjoyed reloading and I'm not trying to discourage you from starting but things are a lot different today cost and availability wise than they were a year or two ago and back when I started reloading. I didn't do much research / price shopping and pretty much just clicked on the first thing that came up but here's the current price on a RCBS reloading kit.
