@MB Mark suggest you call O'Reilly's Firearms High Street, Thornbury (03) 9480 3366_. O'Reilly's been in the game a long time, use to go there and would be a good start. Note they have an online store (joined up with others).

Good for a browse as a start. There would be second hand presses around but would buy new dies/tools.

First ever personally owned centerfire rifle up on the block and to be honest a little shocked at their near 12g rarer speciality needs 1oz slug similar prices.
I do understand an investment would need to factor in yearly volumes required but honestly wouldn’t even know where to start in regards quality equipment/supplies and or a threshold to just say pay a store $2 each?

I was told that one of the major ammo companies in the US has gone under - might be Remington, so there is a shortage of ammo everywhere. When I went to get a box of the 410g 45-70's the price had jumped from $88 to $149, and they only had 3 boxes on the shelf, and no more on the way, so i bought the lot. I have a simple lee loader and will be loading my own as well. I used to do handloads when i had my 7mmRem Mag because that thing was dear to shoot.

Mark mate you are going to spend a bit of cash on equipment. I use a lee turret loader to do mine, prob spent around a grand on stuff. Dies, ultrasonic cleaner, primer seating tool, powder thrower etc, but I can reload a 4570 plinking round with black widow 350 gn hard cast and
Trail Boss for less than 50c a round. And 44 mag and 308. Probably take a long time to pay off, but everyone needs a hobby 😀

I’m sold now thanks Growler Mate, not as expensive as I first guesstimated with Mickhead’s advice for under a grand startup too.
Just subscribed to this channel found for some great ‘tips’ out there in Youtubey land too!

Yeap Phil, it’s Remington that went under. I was talking to a guy for Winchester on Friday and he told me. Everything is in short supply and gone up because of the situation in the USA, 22 magnum rounds are now $30. Worldwide shortage of projectiles.
