Don't waste your time with the Lee Classic Loader Kits (i.e. the kind that you whack with a hammer!). At the very least, get a Lee hand-press kit, or a Lee Anniversary kit (something around $150 delivered to your door). The hammer whacking kits almost went the way of the dinosaur, if it weren't for these "preppers" running around these days thinking their 3 bedroom house on a quarter acre is gonna be he alamo someday, you wouldn't even see those hammer kits at all. You'll have DAYS invested in loading a hundred rounds on the hammer kit. The Single Stage anniversary kit, the Lee Classic Turret Kit, or the RCBS and Hornady single stages kit are good investments. I run a Lee Classic Turret these days, and even taking my time and going pretty slowly, I crank out 150-200rnds per hour, and the whole shebang fits on a 2'x2' bench - still using my "temporary solution" reloading bench right now.

To answer that question, you really gotta answer the question: What are you wanting to do with your Vanguard 30-06? Hunting? Paper punching? 0-300yrds? 0-800yrds? What volume will you be shooting?

If you're only shooting a box or two or less each year and only hunting CXP2 game like whitetails at ranges under 300yrds, then there's no reason to reload at all. You'll be money ahead to stick with factory ammo. If you're shooting a box or two every weekend, then reloading will pay itself back for you.

If you're shooting long ranges, then reloading starts to make sense also (which assumes you're also shooting pretty high volume to be proficient at long range shooting).

So... What do you want your rifle to do for you?
