[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 367269, member: 22262"] ahh i remember those days of starting out and not having a clue what i was doing. Well anyway i started reloading for accuracy but over the last couple of years it is getting where it is also a lot cheaper to reload so my first advice to you is if you shoot a lot and wont to shoot dime size groups at 100 yards go ahead and invest in some good equipment because it will pay off in the long run. If you only shoot a box or less a year just stick to the factory stuff because you will never be able to "break even" and offset the cost of the reloading equipment. Here is a list of what you will absolutly need along with the aproxamate cost Brass $22 per 50 Midwayusa Primers $5 per 100 Powder $28 per 1lb Projectile $20 per 100 but thats about the cheepest Midwayusa Press $30 Midwayusa cheap but rating says it works fine Dies $25 Midwayusa Scale $75 Midwayusa dont go cheap on this item Funnel $3 Midwayusa deburing tool $12 Midwayusa hand primer $13 Midwayusa primer pocket cleaner $2 Midwayusa resizing lubricant $8 Midwayusa case neck brush $4 Midwayusa Gives you a total of $247. This is the cheapest way to go and if you get really into reloading you will defanatly want to upgrade several of these items The cheapest box of 243 ammo i could find was $15 a box acording to my reloading calculator it will cost you $10.21 per 20 shells and you will know what your getting. A $15 box of shells now days normally will only get out of the barrel who know where it will go after that. I hope this helps NOTE: i did not put a reloading manual on there because there is a lot of information you can find online. Just as much if not more than a reloading manual and it does not get out of date where a reloading manual will. [/QUOTE]
