If I do the math, I spent $440 for a progressive press and 2 sets of dies, but get back $270. Net cost for the press and 2 set of dies is a whopping $180!

Nice. Wish I had the time and wasn't afraid of reloading.

Reloading is not rocket science and is easy that even a monkey can do it. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Check out youtube, I myself just learned about a year ago and learned everything on youtube. Also key is to not over charge and you will be fine. I still have yet to buy a re-load manual. I get all my spec sheets and info online |

If you are interested in match rifle loads let me know and PM me anytime. I can get you started for about $120 or so. Reason I say match rifle load is because it will be worthwhile in the money saved vs. time spent ratio. Match stuff go for about $1.50 a round while you can make them for around 50 cents a round. It will take you about an hour for 20 rounds. That is a savings of $20. You will feel just like a side laborer making making $20 an hour cash tax free.
