I have often thought about doing custom loading for people as a service. If you were starting from scratch with unknown rifle charateristics $395.00 isn't even the tip of the iceberg your going to spend if you don't already have brass, dies, multiple powders and bullets already in that caliber. Just one of my custom guns went through over $200 in premium bullet selections to find the perfect bullet it liked and I think I was lucky keeping it under $200.00 in bullets. Talk about smoking stuff is for those that truly don't know what a .5 MOA means all the way to 1000 + yards. It's not for those with the close enough attitude. Not trying to sound like a reloading snob but there are so many variables that you either get lucky right off the bat or your going to spend some money.
I reload because theres no comparison between what I produce and what you buy at walmart. Just sayin.
