Reloading Startup Costs

This is just a real rough estimate on what it would cost you to start your reloading setup from scratch based on the equipment that I have. The prices that I give are on the HIGH side. For instance, the price for the press and manual that I give is $50, but I've seen it online for $35 (plus S&H). Look around online and on ebay, and you should be able to get started for a good deal less. Thanks for watching!

do a video of all the ammo and how you store it. I am running out of room and I am always curious to see how other people do it

[thebudgetarmory1]

@teddycanary I've actually got a video on that. It's called something like 'My Ammo Stash'. Check it out!

Was going to PM you but might as well tell everyone...

Best Online Prices, Quality and service I've found to date:

ALL Lee stuff - Factory Sales LLC (they also have repair parts)

Powder and Primers (and bulk rifle bullets) - Powder Valley

Cast Bullets - Missouri Bullet Co ($10-12 flat shipping)

Midway, Natchez and Wideners are also excellent when things are on sale.

You just need to buy quantity to defray any shiping and/or Hazmat fees.

Shoot it up. Make some more. Repeat as necessary!

@wwlutherie Thanks for the heads up! Anything to help defray costs is always tops in my book!

it gets real pricey when loading calibers like .338 lapua O.O priced that out the other night...I can't wait till i can get my equipment and start loading myself!

midwayusa, great place for buying reloading supplies. Best website for buying bullets!

I payed $15.50 / 1000 wolf large pistol primers + hazmat fee and shipping from wideners. Ordinarily this would be no deal except through a group buy in order to absorb the fee and shipping through volume. If you've got a few friends who reload, team up and take advantage of the economy of scale!

Is single stage best for newbies? I've been told a turret press is best. I'm also curious about the loading manuals. Are some better than others? I assumed they were all basically the same but again people have different opinions. I have to compliment you on your delivery style in your videos. There are no "umms", "uhhs" or stutters in your dialogue. You come across as knowledgable and confident. That makes me feel you're worth listening to. Thanks.
