Beg borrow buy beer etc, for use on your buddy’s press, buying ammo for any of these three calibers suck...

I don't hunt, so this is all for fun/target/home defense.

I was up til 3am last night looking at reloading crap. The press I'd want is sold out everywhere. But yeah the cost of ammo, even reloading, is pretty prohibitive for those calibers.

That's why I'm considering doing it in 300 blackout, because I already have a 300 precision rifle so I'll be making ammo for that. Once I load 1000 rds I'll have paid for the press, etc.

First pic is cost comparison for 300blk, 2nd is for 458 SOCOM. Reloading, 458 is still more than double the cost of 300blk.
