New forum member and first post... Hello everyone!
I have never reloaded before and am looking for a little advise on what equipment is best to get me started. In this economy, I do not want to spend more than necessary, yet I want to make sure I am buying equipment that will suit my needs for years to come. My goal would be to make reloading my primary source of ammo. At a guess, I would probably like to be able to reload somewhere in the 200-400 rounds/week range once I get proficient without spending every free hour on it.
I want to reload for all my existing calibers so I need equipment suitable to reload all the following plus have room for new toys in both pistol and long-guns:
1. 32APC
2. 380 auto
3. 9mm
4. 40S&W
5. 45APC
6. 10mm
7. 357 mag
8. 50 AE
9. 500 SW Mag
10. 223
11. 308
12. 30-30
13. 7mm Mag
Looking on the web I see what are advertised as complete kits (ex dies) with prices ranging from <$100 for Lee to $800 for RCBS. Should I go with a kit? If so, which one? Am I better off to pick individual components vs the kits?
Any advise is greatly appreciated
