rcbs makes great dies and equipment for the run of the mill type of reloader. if you find you like reloading sooner or later you will want to upgrade to a dillon to make more per hour. but for just an afternoons worth of work you can crank out quite a few with a rcbs.
all depends on how much you shoot. myself im being a cheap ass and just hording ammo and when i get the itch we will blast .22's for practice or take out a gun for testing that i have recently worked on. shooting is like riding a bike, once ya learn the gun and its ballistics and tape them to stock, it becomes childs play when you do come back to it later on.
right now im playing with (3) .380's (yep bought another hk4) and waiting on parts to arrive. pretty much a no brainer. shoot 3 flavors see what groups best and feeds best and then stockpile whatever ammo it enjoys and never change.
reloading can be anal as it comes when it comes to groups. depends on what yer trying to do. hell loading wadcutters is cheap as it gets. loading zoomy zoom zoom barnes "x" or some other high buck hunting bullet with the super secret stealth recipe can become obseesive in nature searching for the combo that takes "x" out all day long.
what we have found with .308's is to mimic what federal match BTHP rounds are made of and geez louise ya cant go wrong there. imr powder seems to be the best we have played with so far. i like lake city brass myself.
its a great way to spend an afternoon.
