Thread: Wanting to learn to reload but don't want to spend around 1500 to get into it

Lee reloading gear is a very good place to start this https://www.reloaders.co.nz/shop/Rel...t+90050-2.html
is as good a place to start as any - you probably need add dies as well Lee RGB are pretty cheap or often you can pick up dies off trademe - I have a challenger press that must be 30+ yo still going strong. I brought a Hornady hand loading manual when I started which was great but back then no such thing as a forum let alone the internet.

I am by no means an expert - someone like Grandpamac is though, and his posts on handloading on here are an excellent reference point and I really enjoyed reading them (thanks Grandpa!)

One thing that really made reloading interesting for me was buying a chronograph. I recently sold a pro chrono pal plus tri pod on here - got less than $200 for it - perfectly good/functional and seemed pretty accurate (mates loads done by Deadeye Dicks said 2950 fps and thats what the they came out at through mine. Only reason I sold it was that they need to be say 10 ft infront of the muzzle but at the NZDA range up here 10 ft infront is darn near 10ft below the bench !
