whats the cheapest way to reload 40 S&W

[7mm deerslayer]

I shot a glock and I can go through some serious rounds in no time at all. What is the cheapest way that I can get into reloading. I know that it might be a little expensive at first but I would like to give it a try. Where should I start? Any web sites out there to help me out.

7mm,
You can get some good starter kits from the different manufacturers for around $100 or so. LEE, RCBS, and others make kits that include the dies, press, powder measure, ect. I would suggest you buy or borrow a good reloading manual and read it prior to getting into reloading (lome libraries even have a few) and see if it suits your needs. You can decrease the cost by using powders that you can also use for shotshell reloading (if you do that already or plan on doing it), by casting your own bullets or buying cast bullets, and picking up unwanted brass at the rifle and pistol range. I haven't bought 30-06, 308, 0r .30/30 brass in years-I just pick it up off the ground at the local range. Good luck with what you decide. You may also want to check out Midway-I believe that thier web address is www.midwayusa.com. (http://www.midwayusa.com.) Good luck, and if I can be of any help, don't hesitate to Email me.

P.S. if you do get set up, I have about 1300 empty 40 S& W brass (once fired, Win. manufacature) for sale or trade if interested.

Trust me on this one. You'll want to spend the extra money up front and buy a GOOD progressive reloader if your shooting pistol. The time and effort saved is worth the extra cash up front. As several friends told me when I started, "might as well buy it now, because you'll end up buying it anyway". They were right. The only one I'd pick for the money is a Dillon press. Their "Square Deal B" is $252 and is for pistol. The RL 550B is $325 and will handle over 100 pistol and rifle cartridges. It comes with a very accurate powder charge. I've never had a moments trouble with mine. Their web site is www.dillonprecision.com. (http://www.dillonprecision.com.) You can buy RCBS pistol dies for about $10 less than Dillons.
