Scott don't buy new buy second hand!!! I got the majority of my reloading kit for £80 scales, press, loading board, chamfer tool, primer cleaners etc same goes for dies keep he eyes open and buy second hand! If you do that you'll get a set up for £200 or there about's!
I thought that's what you'd said mate, as for the 1000 yard question I don't know if I'll even be able to shoot out to that range, the longest I've shot was the mcqueens at the June meet, so I might be the weak link let alone the round/load/rifle
