Hey guys,
I'm new to this idea, but I really want to get into reloading for the savings factor. I've heard it might not be as substantial as it's made out to be, but nevertheless, anything is better than nothing at all. The problem is, I have no idea where to begin as far as a basic reloading setup is concerned. I went on Midway and looked around, but I left the site with my head spinning.
Can anyone explain to me what might be a good beginners reloading setup that I could get for a relatively good price? What pieces of equipment are essential, and which pieces are superfluous enough that I could at least go without them for a while? I don't want to spend a ton of money, but I also don't want to get equipment that would not be fully functional for any application, because I really don't want to have to "move up" to a better setup in the future, so basically I'm looking for the least expensive but most function setup for the money. However, I would certainly take suggestions on the most basic entry level models as well, if it is thought that they can handle the job.
I am looking to reload 45 ACP right away, and probably 308, 300 WSM, or 300WM in the not too distant future.
Any help/ideas on this are greatly appreciated.
