[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 3012088, member: 96797"] I started out reloading in college because I couldn't afford ammo for my 300WM and 44Mag. The entire RCBS setup was $270ish, powder was $12.90 per lb. A reloaded round for my Ruger M77 300WM was $0.25 and it would[B] [/B]shoot a 3/4" group or better with a 180gr BTSP hand loads. I ran the factory paddle stock and a Simmons scope for 15years. Then somehow things got out of control with neck sizing dies, sizing mandrels, micrometer seaters and annealers. Nowadays, the Ruger M77 300WM wears a McMillan stock, a NF scope and will shoot a 5/8" group with 220gr ELDx. Handloading can still be cost effective as long as you don't fall down the rabbit hole head first. [/QUOTE]
