Rev,
I don't reload but plan to in the very near future.
I'd suggest that you stick the new gun money into a reloading setup and get the rifle later. Loading your own makes all the centerfires you currently have much more fun and interesting.
I have a Savage 10 with an aftermarket 260 Rem barrel. Not as good looking as my other rifles, but I really dig the safety operation and location. Someone earlier mentioned gas handling. This past summer I blew a primer (not paying enough attention when working up a load) and didn't realize it until I went to work the bolt. Had to have the ejector replaced, but other than that all was well. I'm seriously considering getting a second barrel for mine in 358 Hoosier.
