[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 452509, member: 20047"] I have also given thought to this idea. It is one of the hurdles to this particular passion, the cost to get started with reloading and good enough rig..... I think it quite possible that due to costs, some out there initially dabble with reloading but do not have enough liquidity to try several different bullet/powder combos along with the appropriate reloading and shooting gear and therefore may not see a lot of differentiation between factory loaded ammo and their efforts. The Forum does a great job of assisting with advice on getting started by pointing them towards good starter equipment and initial load developement. But I agree in principle to your line of thought. I have determined that rather than offer a complete package the suppliers could allow a retailer like Midway USA to offer the bullets in smaller quantities for load developement, say packages of 15. Then the individual could after doing some initial research purchase 3-4 projectiles to start initial developement with for quite a bit less. As far as the powders, due to packaging, I believe the manufacturers would have to be on board with initially shipping smaller qty offerings and I am not sure it is feasable. it would be nice so as to limit the amount of partially unused powders on my bench inventory. It would be nice if our local clubs had the ability to provide components by ala carte..... A good line of thought, just not sure of the plausability, but it keeps rattling around in my brain as well. [/QUOTE]
