[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 214594, member: 704"] I agree you will save money buying a kit. If you want quality it's hard to beat the RCBS Rockchucker kit. I would pay a little more and get the one with the digital scale. You will find powders that will reload the 243, 308, and 300 mag, but performance will suffer if you don't purchase powders best for each caliber. It will be much easier to find a powder that works very well for both the 9mm and the 40 cal. Many people get into reloading to save money. That will not last long because you will start to reload high quality for performance. I have boxes of bullets laying around not being used because I went to better quality. I think I have about twelve boxes each of Berger VLD and Hornady ELD-X. I maybe better clarify something. People who purchase the $16 308 factory ammo will start out shooting for equal quality for $10 a box. Soon they will find themselves loading for $20 per box, so they spend more that way, but to get the same quality factory ammo they would be paying $40 a box. So yes you will spend more than now perhaps, but you will save a lot compared to premium ammunition. If you don't want to spend that much purchase in bulk. For example you can easily pay $25 for 100 bullets, but purchase 1000 for $140. One of my favorite bullets for the 9mm is the inexpensive 147 gr HP by Rainier. My XDM competition shoots them better than any other bullet. I get a 1000 on sale for just over $100. Thanks for the opportunity to try be helpful to someone today. [/QUOTE]
