Bought reloading equipment

Well, in the course of a week I’ve progressed from never reloaded to hand loaded a few rounds on neighbor’s equipment to buying my own equipment. Found a guy selling all his reloading stuff on Craigslist, checked it out and bought/picked up yesterday. Paid $400 for equipment with MSRP of $975 and “best web price” I could find of $750 plus shipping and tax. Most of the stuff has never been opened or used.

Be on the look out for a case tumbler you will need to clean the used cases.

Well you got the cheap part taken care of, now for the real expense.

Congrats. Reloading is fun, satisfying, and allows you to shoot more.

Just remember the key is ATTENTION TO DETAIL and start off loads near the bottom and work up.

I assume you got a powder-measure and scale? I'm getting excited for you :)
Yes, two included, a Lee Safety Powder manual scale and a MTM Case Gard digital scale.
The only things I have had to buy is a .308 die set and a caliper.
