I run a RCBS rock chucker for all my rifle stuff and a Hornady Lock-n-load for all my pistol stuff. My RCBS is over 30 years old and still going strong. For the 7 mag I would just pick up a Rock chucker supreme kit and get started.
:yeah:
7mm Rem Mag, RCBS Rock chucker, approaching 30 years.

Yep you start reloading because it's cheaper and pretty soon you have a closet full of premium components and tools. It's a natural progression.:yeah:

But... if you find that one load and stick with it, then it gets cheaper
Post by: Jason on December 19, 2016, 08:39:25 PM
:chuckle: It's cheaper if you settle on a load (not counting the initial cost of equipment). If you're like a lot of us, you'll try load after load after load trying to find the perfect one. Different bullets, different powders. It isn't cheaper :chuckle:Is there even a such thing as a cheap hobby??

.45-70, .45 LC, .410, premium hunting/shooting ammo, for example. Sometimes, .223 Rem/5.56, for example, depending on the political climate, reloading is the only way to get ammo.
It never gets cheaper, because you'll just shoot twice as much
We're still talking reloading, right? And the other one is NOT cheaper.

Due to moving around alot and too many other hobbies I didn't start reloading until a couple of years ago :bash: But the smartest thing I have done is I have been collecting gear for 25 or so years and my RCBS R/C II cost me 20$ and my RCBS jr. cost me $5 at garage sales and I get all my dies used, mostly on here actually but sometimes on Ebay or hole in the wall guns shops which I love almost as much as junk yards, the point being there is alot of good gear out there cheap and don't wait do it now. Oh and by the way the day reloading becomes obsession is when you find a neat old rifle (Swiss Vetterli) in an obscure caliber( .41 Swiss made from 8mm Lebel) and are quick to justify the trip down the rabbit hole by thinking oh no biggie I reload.This is what I mean.

Reloading to save money is like hunting because it saves on the grocery bill. :chuckle: it does have its benefits though
:yeah:

While 257 weatherby isn't exactly uncommon, I think the cheapest ammo you can find will run you about $2 per shot. For the nice Weatherby stuff with premium components its $4.25 a cartridge!
Reloading the Weatherby equivalent(bullet, brass), I'm paying about $1.20 each in components. Once I shoot through my first 50 rounds I'll have paid for the components and die set, and still have enough powder to load another 50.

I spent a chunk of change on stuff that I needed while he was here. I doubt I'll ever recoup savings on reloading, but it will be fun shooting more once I get started.
I have a couple of extra single-stage presses and a few other things that I can part with.I'll look and see whats all there.
