[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 3015585, member: 109229"] Just get the essentials and take your time incrementally adding things as your skills progress. I’ve only been at it 16 years but it’s easy to get sucked into getting the latest and greatest only to find out that some of the stuff yields negligible benefit (for you personally) and wasn’t worth laying out the cash for. This is of course, personalized to what you expect to get out of the equipment and your own standards. This hobby is a continual learning process. You mentioned primers, brass, bullets, etc. I would recommend setting aside a portion of your budget for these, with some kind of an estimate of what you will consume over the next 3-5 years, based on the average charge weight of the cartridges you mentioned and how much you plan to shoot. I have found that it takes me in the neighborhood of 50-60 rounds to develop a load for standard cartridges. Best of luck. This is a rewarding hobby. [ATTACH type="full"]537060[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
