AS THE QUESTION OF RELOADING , YOU SHOULD 1ST LOOK AT WHAT YOU PLAN ON SHOOTING VS. THE INVESTMENT .. YOU STATE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CAL.. THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RELOAD. EACH CAL. IS A DIFFERENT DIE SET $$$$ , PLUS THE EQUIP. $$$$ AND THE COMPONENTS $$$$$.... THATS A BIG INVAESTMET UP FRONT.......

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU START OFF WITH THE CAL. THAT YOU SHOOT THE MOST... BUY THE BASICS , MANUAL , SINGLE STAGE PRESS , SCALE , DIE SET ( CARBIDE ).. SAFETY GLASSES , MEASURING CALIPERS .. MAYBE LIKE A LEE CHALLANGER KIT..EVEN INCLUDES A HAND PRIMING TOOL ( which i preffer over priming on a press / better feel ) ... LATER YOU CAN ADD ON AS NEEDED ..... BUT BE CAREFULL OF KITS WITH USELESS ADD-ONS :barf: THAT YOU MAY NOT USE.....

AS FAR AS THE ECONOMICS YOU NEED TO DO SOME HOMEWORK ON THE SUBJECT .....

I PREFFER LOCAL SUPPLIERS CAUSE THEY SAVE ME $$$$ FREIGHT CHARGES... AND HAZ-MAT FEES WHEN YOU BUY PRIMERS AND POWDERS.....

UNLESS YOU BUY POWDER / PRIMERS IN LARGE QUANT.. THOSE FEES EAT AWAY AT YOUR SAVINGS . EVEN BUYING BULLETS , BUY IN BULK NOT 100 RD RETAIL BOX'S......... SAVE THE $$$ AND USE THE SAVINGS ON THE EQUIP. UPGRADES....

BUT REMEMBER IF YOU BUY FROM LOCAL RETAILERS YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 4 UPS TO BRING YOU THE GOODS... AND YOU GET TO BUILD A RELATION WITH THE GUN STORES / WHICH CAN HELP YOU WHEN YOU NEED TO BUY A NEW TOY , OR HAVE ONE REPAIRED , NEED ADVICE ETC..... TRY GETTING FULL SERV.. AT AN ON-LINE STORE.... I SHOULD KNOW I WORKED AT A GUN SHOP AND LEARNED BOTH SIDES OF THE COUNTER.....

AS YOU ADD TO YOUR SUPPLIES , SEE WHAT POWDER OR COMPONENTS MAY WORK ON YOUR OTHER PROJ.... BE RESOURCEFULL.
