Reloading your own ammunition saves money on every trigger pull and lets you build match-grade ammo tailored to your specific rifle. The startup cost for a basic single-stage setup is $300 to $500, but the per-round savings add up fast, especially for precision calibers where factory match ammo costs $1.50 to $3.00 per round.

We compare reloading equipment from 80+ retailers. Browse presses, dies, brass, primers, powder measures, scales, and case prep tools. Filter by type, brand, and price.

FAQ: Reloading Equipment

What reloading press should I start with?

A single-stage press is the best starting point. The Lee Breech Lock Challenger ($50), RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme ($180), and Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic ($300) are all excellent choices at different price points. A single-stage press teaches fundamentals and produces the most consistent ammo. Progress to a turret or progressive press after you understand the process.

Is reloading actually cheaper than buying ammo?

For common calibers like 9mm and .223, savings are modest (30 to 50% per round). For precision calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua, savings are substantial ($1 to $2+ per round). The real value is in loading match-quality ammo tuned to your specific rifle, which can dramatically improve accuracy over factory ammo.

What components do I need to start reloading?

Press, dies (caliber-specific), shell holder, powder measure or scale, priming tool, case trimmer, caliper, reloading manual, brass, bullets, powder, and primers. A good starter kit (like Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Kit) includes most tools except dies, components, and caliber-specific items.
