[QUOTE="NathanSteg, post: 442544, member: 7866"] Ive spent hours watching YouTube videos on reloading its one of those things Id love to get into, but every time I start thinking seriously about it, I hit the same problem: cost. people say reloading saves money in the long run, but getting started? Thats a whole different story. Between the press, dies, powder, primers, calipers, case trimmers, and who knows what else, it adds up fast. And thats before even talking about the components, which arent exactly cheap these days either. Ive gone back and forth on it many times. I know Id probably enjoy once I really got into it but do I really want to sink that kind of money into a hobby right now still being in college Thats the question. Ive watched enough videos to get a rough idea of the process, but half the time, the experts contradict each other. Some swear by one method while others warn of the dangers. One guy insists trimming cases is a must; another says to skip it. Yet, no matter where I look, the same advice keeps coming up: get a manual. But before I go spending money on a press or even a book, I need to figure out if I actually want to commit to this or if I just love the idea of it. Because as much as Id love to be the guy making his own ammo, Im not sure Im ready to be the guy shelling out cash to roll his own ammo. If anyone out there has any extra or old equipment or literally anything at all lying around, please let me know. [/QUOTE]
