Questions on what to do...

I want to get into reloading because finding FGMM ammo locally is impossible for my .308. I have no equipment... yet. I found a good deal on Forster #U00107 Ultra Micrometer Seater Die .308 Winchester for $63.99. Should I just start piecing it together and pick this up? Be nice as I am a TOTAL rookie when it comes to, "rolling my own".
 
Re: Questions on what to do...

If I were you I would scour Craigslist. I have been finding people selling die kits and presses fairly cheap on there lately...

You will also need a tumbler and media, as well as a trimmer and a case gauge.

Powder, primers and bullets will likely be the toughest find for you right now..

Also go to the RCBS website and watch for sales on their reloading kits. A few years ago I was able to pick up an entire turret kit ready to reload for $300.
