Greetings! I found Remington 125gr PSP rounds in .30-06 here in Phoenix for $15-$19; kinda pricey but they shoot well.

For reloading kits, you can get the Lee for about $79 at Cabelas, to over $200 for RCBS. Then you'll need dies; $25 for Lee's, and it goes up from there. I'm looking to reload some Nosler 125gr Ballistic Tips for my 700 BDL; looks like they can be pushed up to around 3100fps.

Whatever route you go, good luck! Reloading is almost as addicting as shooting...or is it the other way around? I forget... :)
Life was so much simpler when I thought I knew everything...

Lee makes a kit for about $15 that will make very accurate ammo, using cases fired in your rifle.  It has everything needed except bullets, primers, and powder.  In my opinion it's a good way to get started.  You'll also need a mallet and a sturdy, level surface to work on.

You should also get a manual from a components manufacturer like Speer, Hornady, Hodgdon, and read the info in the techniques section.  These can usually be had used at good prices at gunshows and some book stores(the kind that sell used books).

here's a link, I hope:

I started with one of these for my 30 carbine 35 yrs. ago--they work great especially if you have more time than money.
