RE: Newbie to rifle reloading
Konaboy, look on e-bay!
It is certainlyNOT NECESSARY to spend a fortuneto get into metallic cartridge reloading. It is ill-advised to buy NEW equipment when you can get ANYTHiNG you need off of internet auction sites, usually for less than half of retail price, and a lot of that stuff is new or used very little. This includes reloading dies for many oddball calibers that would cost a small fortune if you bought them new!
Over the last two years, I've been able to buy an RCBS Rockchucker in near-new condition off e-bay for $50.00, several die sets for under $20.00 apiece, plus several Lyman-Ohaus M5 scales for under $30.00 each.
Welcome to metallic reloading. Have fun & good luck!
