[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3053956, member: 5316"] I can easily sustain 1000+ rounds an hour and that includes case-gauging every round that comes off the press. But, I've got way more invested in equipment than most. I turn out a way better product than the cheap stuff I can buy. That is just part of it, I actually like reloading. I like tuning the ammo to the gun(s) and see the results. I see people do two things when they try to justify cost. 1) The don't consider that they can sell the brass they are picking up and reusing. So for say 9mm, there is $20/K they don't usually consider in their reloading cost. 2) Most people try to look a recouping the equipment. That equipment still has value after you load 10K rounds. If you are dealing with Dillon equipment, it is easily sold used for 80-85% of "current" new cost. It is usually considered a very good bargain in the 75% range. So it you buy $1000 worth of equipment you only have to recoup $200 in the reloading. Buy used to begin with and you just may break even right off the bat. Keep it 3-4 years and that used equipment you bought may be worth more than you paid. (due to new price increases) [/QUOTE]
