[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 1947204, member: 23"] Reloading is becoming a lost art. I used to reload just to see how much accuracy I could get out of a load. I started with an RCBS single stage press and through the years I've drank the kool-aid and now I mainly use Dillon's XL-650. Nowadays, I just do a lot plinking and informal shooting. I load 9mm, .38/.357, 40S&W, 45GAP, 45ACP, .223 and .308. Whenever I load I try to get the best prices for components that I can and buy in bulk. When I say bulk, I find the best prices that I can for boxes of 5000 primers, 8 pound jugs of powder and the best rate for bullets seems to be 1000 at a time. That may seem like a lot to a beginner, but reloading is an evil monster. The more you load, the more you shoot and the cycle never stops. When I go to the range I always try to come back with more brass than I shot. Sometimes I pick up some of the lead. I also have a friend who owns a tire shop and gives me old wheel weights and I cast my own bullets, buckshot and slugs. Saves more money. [/QUOTE]
