I'm having great fun becoming more serious about rifle shooting after years of just toting my Marlin 336 around for a few days in Maine every season. For my new Remington 7mm-08, I'd like to get into reloading. I used to reload shotshells, mostly to save money, but casual target shells became so cheap that I haven't bothered in awhile.
Anyway, I'm the classic newbie on this. Should I get the Lee loader anniversary kit, which claims to include everything except a set of dies? Is there a cheaper / better way to get started? Is there stuff other companies' equipment does better, or stuff the Lee kit won't do at all? At first, I'll be loading mostly to save money on cartridges. I'll shoot perhaps two boxes a week max--about 40 rounds, as I work with the rifle to become a better shot. Right now, I'd like to learn without investing a huge amount of money. Any and all advice appreciated, as always!
