Sell your .243 cases on here mate, and take your .22 cases to the scrapman when you have a bag full.

Reloading is not really a cost saving exercise, even if you get a very simple kit to start with, as the components are not bought

in quantity's that make say 20-30 rounds, powder costs typically £40 a tub, bullets £20-30 a 100, primers are usually bought in

a 1,000 brick £40+, brass at around £30-50 a 100, of course it depends on the calibre but the above already is well past £200.

But the real advantage is making cartridges that are tailored to your rifle(s). Also you can load combinations of bullet/powder/

primer/brass that are simply not available anywhere.

Also the really basic kit is slow to use and not particularly convenient, you will soon be wanting something better and quicker

and possibly more precise without too much effort.

Anyway it's up to you but if you want to get better results reloading is definitely the way to go.

....add to that the fact reloaders tinker all the time, there is always a better load to be found and they keep looking, even if they have a load that already works well.

 

No question accuracy can be improved over factory for virtually everyone, and costs relate to usage, if you do shoot a lot then savings can be made, but as said don't necessarily get into reloading with the aim of saving money.

 

Also consider accuracy, I use PRVI .223/243/308, all deliver 1" in my rifles, for sure I can improve that reloading, but hit anything with a CF and it falls down whether it is 1" or 1/2"
