[QUOTE="blackco, post: 171901, member: 7356"] DoubleG, Welcome!!! It doesn't take much exposure to catch the bug. Good thing it is only dangerous to your wallet. On mounting your press...my first press was a Rockchucker (the one I still use) and I mounted it to a little $5 garage sale bed-side table. I only reloaded for a 300WinMag and resizing was a little interesting, but it worked. Lots of people here have mounted their presses to a board and then c-clamp the press to their bench. It is great for flexibility, all you need is a STURDY surface and you're in business. I agree with everything that has been said here so far. You have a gun that should be capable of good accuracy and is a caliber that will work fine for what you want. Put your $$$ into tweeking your gun and reloading equipment and you will learn SOOOOOO much more than if you just bought another gun...but another gun is fun also. I didn't see where you are from but one way to save money, or spread out the spending curve, is find some folks in your area who are already set up and share their equipment while you are getting set up. I don't know how many military dorm guys have used my set-up. Good luck on your recovery...I haven't found a cure for the bug...but that's a good thing. [/QUOTE]
