[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2053365, member: 18402"] +1 hoov helped me get set up and I have asked him some questions about adding additional equip and always gotten straight forward honest answers. Good guy that won't feed you bs just to make a sale. I really haven't saved much money but I've gotten to shoot 2-3 times as much for the same money. I primarily load precision rifle but lately have loaded quite a bit of "practice" .223. And if you are meticulous and attentive and have the time then reloading is defiantly worth it. The crazies will slow down in the panic buying soon or run out of money and the manufactures of both components and loaded ammo will catch up. But I think it'll take a bit. As far as equipment goes do not skimp on the powder measure or scale and as far as presses go if primarily loading rifle go with a single stage.
