[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2234168, member: 99039"] I am a hunter and plinker and am always looking for ways to bring my group size down to one ragged hole, this is just what I Love to do, we all have to have a hobby. I have factory rifles and a custom rifle, but now will take those factory rifles and send them off to a barrel manufacturer to have rebarrelled, true the actions.. As for reloading you don't have to buy all at once, just think of it as you only have to buy once. When I first started out with my 44 Mag pistol, it was with hand dies, then came the used turret press, used manual powder thrower and balance beam scale. I have upgraded from that used turret press last year, I had it since 93, and the friend had it for 10+ yrs before then, so they last a lifetime. Then next was electronic powder thrower and scales, that one had to be replaced last year as well, it quit so that one lasted 20yrs. I have the Hornady bullet comparators, headspace guage, bullet puller. All the dies that I have for all of my rifles, started out with RCBS, but now that I am into precision reloading, on the new rifles I purchase the micrometer seating dies and use Redding for F/L sizing dies, concentricity guage, neck expanders, the list goes on and on. Majority of these items are buy once, the electronic ones, when the item quits working, the press when you want to upgrade. On those smaller items that do not break the bank, I usually ask for those items during Christmas, Birthday and Father day. It hasn't stopped for me and I have been full time into reloading only for my pistols and rifles since 1992. Now, I am going to start looking into building my rifles, that is another rabbit hole that you can go broke into. It is a lot easier to do that these days since a lot of barrels are made pre-fit to the custom actions on the market. As I said in the beginning, it is a hobby and I love it.. [/QUOTE]
