[QUOTE="snowpro440, post: 1006595, member: 12858"] Well its a little more than that $400-$500 unless your buying some used Equip, A press like a rockchucker will run $125+ Shellholders $7 each, Scale : I went with the chargemaster combo $340 or a balance beam scale for $75-$100, Dies $35each+ Bullet comparator and inserts $59+ , Calipers $50+ , Micrometer$59+, Cleaning primer pockets tools and or case prep center $150 Trimmer and collets and pilots $100 A tumbler will polish your brass $70 Your gonna need more than think , Get a manual and sit and read it and anything you can find on reloading and the tools you will need, this is not a cheap hobby as I sit and wonder what I could have done with the money that I spent over the years throwing lead and copper down range . Then it only gets worse when you start building guns and trying different things to get them to shoot.. Over k's invested an still buying stuff, There's so much stuff that I couldn't list it all in a few minutes, do you have a friend that reloads ? All I think about is Bullets, Brass, Primers, Powder, and getting to shoot, I'm in too deep now but its not too late for you.....lightbulb A 6BR would be a good starting point. [/QUOTE]
