To that you would need to add a set of carbide dies ( brand new $45-$70 depending on caliber ), a set of shell holders ( $5-$7 for one ) plus powder ( $20-$30 a pound ) plus empty cases and bullets .
The master kit has pretty much everything you'd need except those items listed which are specific to you. Dies , shell holders plus other items can be purchased used at some of your local gun shops.
Dies usually do not wear out but take a bright light with you to look for scratches in the inside of the die. Any scratches in the die will transfer to the case and could cause a weak point.
If you are strictly a pistol guy, a Dillon Progressive reloader would be a good investment. |
Thanks. So how much per round would it cost to reload, assuming I got the brass for free?
