Does Anyone Else Here Reload?

[TennJeep1618]

I've been reloading almost all of my own ammo for the past 5 or 6 years. I can't imagine having to pay retail price, for as much as I shoot.

Does anyone else here reload? Is anyone interested in it, but has questions?

I do but I think you already know that.
Glad to see that you're a member here.

Hey Garpo, Yeah I found this forum a few months ago.

Just found the site. I’ve been loading for a few months now. Single stage only for now.

Yup, started out by loading probably the most involved and difficult rounds I can think of. Forming the case and all. Here's one next to a .22LR. Heck, I could almost use the .22 as the primer.

Oh, I think I'm doing pictures wrong...Aha! I'll figure out how this forum works one day.

I make the cases out of 24 gauge shotshell brass:

I am interested in reloading 9mm and 3030 what would be the best setup?

Honestly I have 2 progressive and 1 single stage press. For 9mm progressive is the only way I have found to make it truly cost effective with the price of 9mm the last few years. I use a hornady lnl ap press setup for 9mm, a lee progressive setup for 45 auto and a single stage for almost all rifle rounds. Keeps me efficient with my time.

I wish I understood what you just said

Haha. Well first of all I fixed the typos which should help. Secondly I would say start with a good single stage press. It's a great way to learn the steps and will always be useful for precision rounds later on if you upgrade to a progressive for handgun rounds

 

[RandallC]

Hmm I guess I need to look at progressive then. I only have 9mms at the moment.

 

[Revolverman567]

If you ever get to madison hit me up. I'll show you my 2 progressive setups. What does a 50 rd box of FMJ 9mm cost locally

 

[RandallC]

Cheap stuff is around 10-12 a box

I recently upgraded my 1050 with a Mark 7 Autodrive. No more pulling the handle for me.

I processed about 10K pieces of 9mm last weekend.

 

[TennJeep1618]

I finally got around to filming the autodrive actually loading some ammo this weekend:

The autodrive runs about $1800, not including the press.
