djonathang,

Congrats! In 1983 I bought the RCBS kits because my wife thought $12.50 was too much to spend on a box of 30-06 for my bolt gun. I still use most of what I bought back then but today I do have a mix which includes about every color and then some.

Like '06 I think the 270 would be a good cartridge to learn on. Then I got a M-1 Garand....a .357, a 1911 and so on.

Then I started loading match 308 for a tuned up M-1 Garand....savings over store bought match ammo was extremly high.

Now most of my reloading is for match 223 to shoot in my AR's. I shoot a couple of matches a month and still savings is high.
