    Default Spreadsheet done. Cost to start my Reloading Hobby.

    Well I finished up a cost spreadsheet on all the equipment I've gotten so far to start reloading. It came to just under $2000. I bought 2 Lee presses, LoadMaster and The Classic. I've been making a lot of dummies,reading, youtubing and just learning the trade. It will be awhile before I actually make loaded bullets. I want to be able to upload pics. Any help there will be greatly appreciated.

    Congrats... you are 5000 rounds of 223/556 ammo IN THE HOLE. You will need to load 20,000 rounds to get ahead. Better start now.

    I hope in that $2000 you have a ton of powder bullets and brass invested too. Otherwise I don't figure how you can have that much money spent on lee products.

    For that price, you could've gotten a Dillon 1050. What else you have?

    You should post your spreadsheet for those of us also interested in starting to reload.
    My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.

    If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
