Best Reloading Starter Kit?

[M4]

Hi All,

I'm the type of guy that used to think Reloading was for the birds. Now with ammo costs higher than gas prices I am reconsidering my thoughts. I've been researching kits for the unexperienced reloader, and have had no real luck. I am wondering if anyone can help guide me to products that will help me in my soon to be new hobby.

I am mainly looking to reload .308, .223/5.56, .40 S&W.

Which rounds are cheaper to buy than reload?

What brand, tools, powders, primers, etc are best? Cheapest? and most bang for your buck?

I'd love some input!

Many thanks,
Alec

RCBS or Lee kits, we have a reloading get together coming up in January in Cartersville. You should join us, and get a better idea of it.

Cheapest is probably Lee. I went with a complete Hornady set up and really liked it.

What will I need to get besides the stuff in THIS kit?

Is there any difference in the quality of the work?
