There are a ton of threads about this same topic out on the internet. I read a bunch before deciding to just get a standard safe. There's enough big box stores selling safes for reasonable prices that the Job Box is only a good solution for a narrow set of requirements. In addition, there's...
Depends on the model that you want. The 357s are rare as hen's teeth nowadays. Grabagun.com gets a couple in every few months, but you have to act fast because they sell out in less than an hour.
That sure is a heck of a lot to ask, but here goes a guess on the minimum:
I don't see why you couldn't start producing ammo with a Lee Classic kit and some basic supplies + the correct FFL. Total investment could be as low as 1k to turn out your first round. Your $/hr would be dang low, but...
Voodoo Tactical has some highly recommended drag bags. MidwayUSA also has at least one larger bag.

Congrats! As long as you can enjoy shooting and are polite to others who are shooting then it's not a problem. If you start bothering other people on the line or it causes other issues then you've crossed over.
Good brass is worth something to many of us and that encourages us to spend a few...
Those are some great points. I've looked around enough to agree that the other calibers and cartridges are totally capable of target use at long distance. If I'm honest there is something about the 338 and 50 that is drawing me though. Call it ego or compensating or something like that :) Guess...
That's a lot of good info about 50 cals. I did a little more research on the ranges that are nearby and 50 BMG is prohibited nearly everywhere while 338 is still allowed. Guess that sets me back on the original path. Will check with some of the stores this weekend.
50 Shooter, those were some of his arguments also. The only downside that I could see was the cost to buy a rifle. $2000 will get a magazine fed 110BA. I think I would need to step that price up quite a bit to get into fiddy.
Haha Taliv :) I was more referring to the 110BA with regards to the cost effective comment. I know that it will be a big chunk of change to get into the cartridge and firearm, but less so than the 50 cal that my shooting buddy is trying to guide me into.
There are a number of places within an hour's drive for 1000+ yard ranges. living in Colorado and relatively near timberline helps. I should also say that this would be used for target shooting and the challenge of shooting far vs for hunting.
I've been blessed to fill out my rifle wishlist for the common calibers, but for some reason I've been looking at the Savage 110BA in 338LM for some time. This seems like one of the most cost effective ways to get into long range shooting. I know that there is a heavy cost to get into this game...
