IN the scope of things, dies are the cheapest investment a reloader can make.

If a set of dies for any caliber cost $40, just thinking of it... I paid $40 for a box
of 100 Hornady ELX bullets in 30 caliber.. the die set will last a could hundred or
thousand plus of those bullets.

Or a pound of powder running $30.

Was using a 300 Win Die set, to load a couple of test bullets for a friend a couple of
days ago. these were RCBS dies. price on the box was still there. $24.50.

Guess I got my money's worth out of those a long time ago. Also guess I've had them a while.
