Good day

Just looking for the regular info everyone starting off ask and probably has been asked a million and now million and one times on this site... But.....

Where do I start...
What equipment do you need to really start and Cost of basic equipment
And what does it cost if anyone knows to reload 243.( I know it will range )... depending on what you are doing but a rough idea.. Not encluding your time and cost of equipment obviously....
I'm green at this but just wondering if I am going to save money or not and really I need something to do in the winter months when I'm not busy with my 300 other hobbies as my wife calls them ...

Thanks for any help in advance
 
Any of the major manufacturers that offer reloading kits will do, RCBS, LEE, Hornady, Redding, etc. Everyone has their personal preference. I like Redding products.....bit more pricey but excellent quality. Dies have slightly tighter tolerances that Hornady, RCBS, Lee, etc. Lyman has the best reloading manual for beginners in my opinion.
Some other items you might consider if not included in a kit:
Powder Trickler
Stuck Case Remover
Kinetic Bullet Puller
Electronic Scale
Dial or Digital Caliper
Primer Pocket Cleaner (Large & Small Rifle)
Case Neck Brushes
Light Grit Sanding Block (I use this the buff out burrs or rough spots around the outside of case mouth after using a Reamer)
Positive Ram Priming Unit

Check out retailers who sell reloading products for costs. Cabelas, Prophetriver, Wholesalesports, Summach Sports, Lebarons, Amazon to name a few

Too many variables to calculate cost per round. If you are going to shoot a lot it will cheaper than buying factory ammo.
 
While costs have gone up, due to our crappy dollar and the cost per round has risen, I brush that off because reloading is my quality time for myself. Look around like crazy and some decent buys will come up to help reloading be more worthwhile.
