Minimal equipment required for loading 6.5 Grendel?

[Rusty Shackelford]

It also depends on how much you plan to shoot. If you're only going to plink and/or hunt a few times a year, then factory ammo will probably be cheaper.

If however, you will be training and shooting in competitions or plinking every weekend, then reloading can definitely save you some money. Maybe not as much as a few years ago but still cheaper than factory.

I personally wouldn't factor in the cost of equipment and manuals as part of the initial cost of reloading. I consider these items an investment in the future.
