Hello all! I have been toying with the idea of getting into reloading. With the current prices of things, the savings for reloading has diminished significantly from the days of the 101 post. I don't shoot very often, mainly because ammo is expensive, but also, I have been pursuing school full time and working full time for the last two years.
For about two years, I have accumulated gift cards from various events, birthdays, holidays, etc.. Right now, I have about $1,200 in gift cards to a local outdoor and sporting store here called Scheels. Part of me wanted to use it to get a Traeger grill, but we cannot put a grill on our patio since we are still in an apartment. I could also use it for firearms if I wanted to as well.
To the point, I have always had an interest in reloading. I do have a healthy supply of ammo now, so access to casings once I use what I have. I currently require some of the popular rifle rounds for sport and also hunting, standard pistol rounds, and shotgun. I would likely be interested in reloading the rifle rounds, For the pistol, likely just one caliber to start with.
I have gone to various sites with write-ups, but they are all from places trying to sell you something, so I take it with a grain of salt. I would prefer to buy nice things initially to save money down the line. I know nothing about reloading other than the basics of what you need. I have seen the Dillon Precision XL 750 on the Scheels site, and it seems to have a lot of what I would need. I know it's more advanced, but it looks like a cry once, buy once situation. I know I would need more supplies, but I was curious about what I would realistically need, assuming I source the big-ticket items from Scheels since I have gift cards.
Thank you if you got this far!
