[QUOTE="gonehuntingagain, post: 72147, member: 1206"] If you buy your components in bulk, you will save money. Try looking at [url="http://www.gibrass.com"]www.gibrass.com[/url] for powder and brass. Even with the hazmat fee for powder, you will still save money over buying the same stuff locally. For example, I bought a 8lb jug of WC844 pulldown powder and with shipping was at the time about $85. An 8lb keg of Hogdon H335 (loads the same as WC844) locally was $125 + tax. This was a couple of years ago. I also use the same powder for my 308. As for a progressive press, it will load consistent ammo if you use a powder that meters good. I agree with the others that it is best to load on a single stage press until you get some experience. With the lower cost of powder from buying it in bulk, my cost per load decreased significantly. If I bought primers in bulk that would help too. Even with the cost reduction in powder and assuming that I will find all of my brass ejected by my AR-15, buying non-reloadable stuff like Wolf still costs me less than reloading plinking rounds with about the same accuracy.
