Has anyone used one of these before? I’m thinking it might be a good way of seeing if reloading is for me without spending a ton of money. I hunt with a 7.62x54r and finding soft hunting ammo is as easy as it once was.
EDIT:
For those interested in selling me on something else...I live in an apartment with no real good table or bench to mount a press. Furthermore, I hunt with a mosin because, at least for now, milsurp ammo is still cheap enough to practice with. Lastly I’d probably only load about 40 rounds a year. 20-30 for pre season verification and 10-20 for hunting season.
I have brass and a cheap food scale but considering I’d also have to buy bullets and powder I don’t want to/can’t spend much more.
I’m also know I’m the type the type of person that often has a hard time continuing hobbies and things into the long term future so if that happens I won’t be out a ton of money.
EDIT 2: As others have pointed out perhaps this isn’t any way to save myself any kind of money so I will probably do the typical broke person thing and ask for the components for Christmas and my birthday and reload next year just for fun.
