[QUOTE="Endurance, post: 801999, member: 67543"] My first hand experience on reloading. My calibers - 7mm-08 .243Win and 9x18 Makarov I bought the .243 and the 7MM and over 1.00 a pull on the trigger and seeing the lack of consistent accuracy and the fact that its a ton of fun and I am a total nerd... Plus 7mm and 9mak is tough to find I did it. To get start I bought a Lee kit, its not super fancy but it was a lot cheaper than the RCBS stuff a friend has and it works almost all the same. TItan Reloading.com I read the pamphlets searched for a few days screwed down my press and started making rounds. It is nerve racking, till you get a system, especially when you screw up a few cases. I load .243 for $0.41 each whereas the same box from Hornady is over 35 for 20 and from nosler even higher. So that being said the Lee kit does not have Turret Micrometers the Powder throw is sort of accurate, and the scale is OK. It produces good rounds so far and I was rolling in all 3 calibers for under 225.00 for everything in under a day. I shot over 150 rounds without a single FTF FTC or anyother malady. Also I only shot shotguns till January this year, and I rarely hunted or target shot more than once a year. DO IT DO IT DO IT. Start with an affordable Lee see how you like it and slowly upgrade.
