Lots of good advice given on this board.


Here is a kit you should consider>>>> http://natchezss.com/category.cfm?co...TOKEN=97604962 I bet Midway has a similar deal.

You also might want to get chronograph to determine which loads are most consistent. I have found that the tendency is to be a bit more accurate with more consistent (velocity wise) loads. Maybe a case trimmer to trim those puppies back a bit.


Then you might want to get a neck sizer die, just to ease the stress on your brass. Then you might want to get a Dillon 550 or 650, just to speed things up a bit. It is and addictive hobby but lots of fun.

Make sure you follow directions given in the book and you will be ok.

As far as the cost savings...I dunno about that. In terms of accuracy improvement that is a definite yup, although those differences may not be significant, but, they will be there. A few years ago my wife asked me why I reloaded.....she noticed that it would take a lot of my time just to get a couple hundred rounds put out. We went to the range. At 100 yards (using her rifle and the same weight Nosler in both factory and handloads) the group size was noticeable, but barely. Then we moved back to the fartherst bench at the range. At 450 yards the difference was very noticeable.



Good luck to you in your new hobby.
