what would be a good set up for .308, .300 win mag, .357, 40 S&W, .243 win? Hornady Lock-N-Load Press with Automatic Case Feeder? or should i start small and simple?

is it the same as this one from cabelas?

looks like a sweet set-up, all i would need is powder, casings, dies, bullets, and sparetime

Well, I haven't actually saved any money reloading. I just shoot more and higher quality loads than before. It is a great way to bring a new level of knowledge to your hunting and shooting. I have the RCBS Master Rockchucker kit and it is great. I always buy the FL dies and a neck sizing die. If you get serious you will want to get a good set of calipers and a competition seating die. Also, buy a few reloading books. You will find that there are often common powders choosen for your caliber. These are often the best to start with. I also bought an inexpensive crono to help me maximise my loads. Have fun!

Kilog,

That link that you posted, is the updated version of what i was talking about. And that is a great price!! One other thing I suggest you get with that is a powder measure stand, will run you about $15.

I also agree with the last post, about buyng more books. I have several, and one other thing I did was use the net and other reloaders, and printed out what I found from these places, and made my own book, saved me some $$ and time, plus the old hand's info are pet loads of thier's, and since they are up in years, thier knowledge will live on this way!

Hope this helps also

Rescue15,
My family is big into reloading. They all sware by RCBS products, I am wondering the advantages you see from Dillon precision presses over a company like RCBS or Hornady. Do they except other manufactures dies and also is there enough room to load the new ultra mag shells in?
