Is a rifle primer loud if it goes off by itself? How close to a gun shot?

Nothing that would worry your ears.

I'm looking at having a crack at reloading and have been doing a bit of research on what single stage press.
Was looking at a RCBS rock chucker supreme.
I have a 223 which I want to do some 70gn or about and looking at a 270 or 308 as a second calibre only hunting a few times a year so not a heap of rounds just want to be using ones that work for me. is it worth the effort or just buy factories , not that many heavier 223 loads in factory

May well die before I cover my costs.
Better putting the funds into another rifle

No worries
8"-twist should shoot the 80gn ELDM very well, I use them in my Ruger American.
I can't really recommend getting into reloading just to save money, unless you are doing an awful lot of shooting. The main reason to load is to be able to build the ammo that best suits your purpose. If you only shoot a few hundred rounds a year, and want to do so cheaper, you'd really have to use the Lee Loader, which you can get into for under $100 per chambering. If you're shooting more though you can save money with one of the cheaper loading press kits for a few hundred dollars, and buying primers, bullets and powders in bulk when they're on special.
