So I have this addiction. I buy ammo, anytime I come across it at decent prices, and end up stockpiling because I don't want to shoot through it all, forcing me to constantly continue the nerve-wracking cycle of constantly buying more and more to replinish and rebuild the stash. I'd say many others feel the same? This leads me to the conclusion I need to just start loading my own, but I don't really know anything about it, short of the geneeral concept. My questions are:
-How much would I be looking at spending for a basic set-up, nothing fancy, probably wouldn't be doing but around 1,000 rds a month? I currently only have the need for 9mm and 5.56/.223 dies. So ballpark figure, not including components.
-List of exact euipment you'd recommend, matching the price range from the first question, and why you recommend such?
-Also, as far as dies are concerned, is there a difference between 5.56 and .223, and which is more economical to load? I tend to prefer 5.56 but I have no real justification for that, other than personal choice.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice guys.
