Thread: Looking at learning to reload, cost effective or better to keep buying cheap ammo

I would say that reloading is a way to save money. I bought my kit second hand and the money I've saved on reloading would easily have paid for the gear. The 243 and 308 I've been saving about $1 a round on and have made about 400 rounds. The kit and components didn't cost anywhere near that. I just look for good deals. $40 for an ultrasonic cleaner. $16 for a reasonable pair of digital calipers. Plus other handy bits as they come up on Trademe.

This is some of what I started with, and haven't added a great deal more.
