Thinking about reloading

[<MADDOG>]

To answer your question with a question:

How much do you shoot, or plan on shooting?
A) I shoot a little and want to reload for enjoyment (Lee is fine)
B) I shoot quite a bit and would like to reload to off set some cost as ammo prices increase (I would go with the LNL or RCBS kits they have)
C) I shoot damn near constantly and need to reload so that I can feed my addiction ( Dillon 550 or better)

Why are you wanting to reload?
A) Fun (Get what you can afford they are all fun and a rewarding hobby)
B) Save money (Got to be looking long term here because there are a lot of hidden costs, buy better equipment that will last longer)

What ever you choose to do just be aware that there is other equipment needed that is not in the kits. You will need to piece it together as you go and your investment will grow. I recommend getting the best setup that you can afford to start out and you will be happy with it longer. I had a lee pro 1000 and it would get the job done, but parts would break all the time and I never trusted it like I trust my Dillon. I have the RCBS kit that you have on that site you linked and it is great. I still use it all the time for my more precision work and when I am working up loads for bolt guns. Whatever you get, it will make bullets and it will be fun. Do your research and maybe have someone help you out to get you going safely and it will save you money in the long run. But also be aware that it will cost time and you need to decide what your time is worth and whether or not you enjoy spending the time doing it. That is what makes it all worth while.

And you can save $ after the investment; my friend just got into it, and we did a comparison. Federal GM 168 SMK, $1.50 each. Reload - $.50 each unless you need to buy brass. Can probably be done cheaper if components are bought in bulk as some have stated.

Stop thinking and jump in with both feet. I started on a pardner, graduated to a chucker, bought a lee classic turret and just picked up a sweet dillon. I reload to get the loads that work best for me. A side benefit is that I can reload 50 custom rounds of .45 acp for around $6.
