If you just want to go shoot now and then and buy some good ammo for hunting I doubt you'd ever save enough money to pay back what it would cost you to get into reloading. in reality all you're saving is what the value of the brass is for a few extra firings .
I started reloading years ago because I wanted better bullets and better accuracy than factory ammo offered. today the factory ammo is as good as you can load yourself so it's not really a reason anymore.
Just remember if you want to start handloading it takes a high level of dedication to do it right and to do it safe. it's not rocket science but in my opinion if you aren't really interested in it you're better off not to do it.

Have you tried or looked st the serria gamekings? I shot 220 grn in my 325 wsm they are an inexpensive bullet
LAST EDITED ON May-10-16 AT 12:53PM (MST)[p]I have tried partitions, accubonds, federal fusion and corlocks.
It might be the case you get what you pay for. I have killed plenty of elk and deer with each.
I might try some hornady's. Looking for a good bullet out to around 600 yards if needed.

If you get that many shots at big game animals each year that the cost of bullets affects you, well, I want to hunt where you are hunting, lol.
If you want to shoot throughout the year, just buy the cheapest stuff you can find and shoot. Then before you hunt, make the adjustments for the 'good stuff'. A box of Partitions, or my personal favorite, Barnes TTSX, should last several years this way.
Regarding reloading, you would save about 50-70% per box by doing it yourself.
Even if I did not save money, I would still reload due to being able to tune my loads for my rifle. I want the best accuracy, at the highest velocity, I can get for hunting.
You can buy a Lee kit for around $130, add dies ($40), powder ($25LB) and bullets (80cents each for Partitions) and your ready to load.
You have $.80 for a Partition, $.03 primer and about $.28 for powder, for a grand total of about $1.11 per shot vs. about $2.60 for store bought. Cost of brass is amortized over how many times you load it and I did not include it.

Hey Greg,
I use Winchester ballistic silvertips. 185 grain.
They've killed everything I've ever shot at. I had to shoot one bull elk in wyoming twice, but the first shot was more than fatal. Just wanted to put him down.
They fly great, I'll shoot steel out to 1000 yards. They're really accurate out to 650, past I think you need a higher end gun and setup than I have. I just shoot a Rugger M77 with a Vortex.
Killed a muley in Wyoming at 638 yrds. One shot. These bullets do explode inside the animal like a grenade. Some guys don't like that aspect. Personally I do. I've seen the trauma.
Anyhow, that's my 2 cents.
