How much did you spend on equipment (not supplies) to reload?

[QUOTE="pacnwLWR, post: 2507024, member: 7741"] About $800 or so. But then, a buddy and I are sharing time on his press and scale. That'd add another ~$650. Supplies are beyond that, of course. About six different powders; four different bullets; primers; all in quantities sufficient for about 3yrs of shooting. So, figure a $1500 loading setup, and about $1.25/rd loaded (skipping my time commitment). Which saves about $1/rd. To "pay back" that $1500, I'd need to shoot 1500rds at such a savings compared to factory loaded ammo. Not inexpensive, I suppose, but the equipment can pay for itself with a couple years of shooting. Assuming I'm making "mule" wages of $0/hr for the reloading time. If prices for components continue to come down, the "savings" will be even greater. Yaaaaay! [/QUOTE]
