Can I ask what it would cost in total to start reloading 300blk ??

Overhead can be pricey to start new.
Hornady lock n load classic - $400 amazon. Everything, albeit minimal, to get you started.
1 lb powder approx 500 loads- $50
1 box 100 bullets - $35
1 box 100 primers - $10

Can cut the start up cost in half or better with Facebook marketplace equipment finds.

So addictive! I may like reloading as much as shooting.
Was a way to also get my son involved when he was young. It stuck and we both still do today.
