Thread: Starting reloading

If you are just reloading for hunting out to 500 you can get away with very minimal and basic gear. You can make supprisingly good ammo. Once you start making a lot of ammo though, I make and shoot 2000 rounds for some of my rifles a year, you want a digital powder thrower. I don’t use anything I started with once upon a time. My one bit of advice would be to get a press that you are able to set your die up once like the Lee rotary press or the one that has the removable collets that just twist and come out, I think a hornady or Lee one. I used to use the Lee 100 and was good. Now use the Forster co-ax.
The amount of ammo most hunters shoot. And with company’s making ammo with pretty good bullets. You only hand load if trying to get super accuracy and shooting extended range, making a lot of ammo or doing a calibre and bullet type that is hard to obtain.
300 wm will still cost you 2-2.50 a round incl brass to make.
