[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2071606, member: 7557"] What with ammunition becoming scarce and costly, reloading seems like the natural progression, but tooling up to reload all the different calibers and gauges is costly and difficult. Plus, economies of scale for the average shooter keeps reloading cost prohibitive, though with many calibers now selling for $1 to $2 bucks a shot, even reloading at home is starting to look more cost effective. I've heard of local shooters forming local reload clubs and pooling resources such as tools and equipment and purchasing in bulk to improve scaling. I envisioned nodes of local shooters who bring their talent and resources to a private club who could meet with their own stuff and have something like a quilting-bee, only instead of turning out comforters, the club could churn out precious metals, like lead and brass. I think it would be fun and even profitable to be a part of a reloading club where shooters could pool together and churn out rounds of fresh ammunition, constructed with better tools, processes and purchasing power than any one shooter could have working on his own. Last year, I bought the domains for reloadclub.com, .net and .org because I thought it might be fun to start a little website with a forum and a way to organize groups, if there is any interest and a club spontaneously formed.
