ok, i realize there are probably countless forums and resources i could use to get started, but, since this pertains to my new 450b upper, and since you guys have been so helpful so far, i figured i'd start here.
at roughly $1.44/per round, i just bought the last 4 boxes of hornady 450b rounds my local gun shop had (wow...couldnt find them ANYWHERE else really even online, but my local guy had em. definitely had to support him!), but i cant justify paying that forever. i think it's finally time for me to start reloading.
so here's my question(s)...where do i start? i realize reloading will pay for itself in the long run and i hate to sound so cheap, but i dont want to make a HUGE investment in a reloading hobby if i soon find out it's not for me or i find myself NOT reloading that much. so i'd like to start cheap. i understand dillon precision, RCBS, etc are great companies/equipment, but lee precision seems to match my wallet a bit better. actually, the hand press kit looks like a great place to start.
that being said, what suggestions do you have, is there a list of basics i need in order to start and where are the best places to buy?
assuming i need certain powder, certain bullets, certain primers, dies, the hand press kit, a powder measurer, a scale maybe...what else?
thanks in advance for your help!
