Thread: Any reloading their own ammo?

I used to own a Dillon 650 with all the bells and whistles. I could load pistol ammo for about 4 cents a round and my rifle ammo was spot on and not expensive also. Lots of out of pocket to get started but if you shoot allot then it's more than worth the effort. But for me their is nothing close to the Dillon products and nothing less than a high speed progressive press will do. If you have any questions about them feel free to ask. I used to load and shoot a few thousand rounds a week.

I don't because I don't like the fact of putting reloads through my rifles that cost several $1000s each.

Besides, when it comes to quality .223 or 556 it really isn't worth the time and effort to save a few pennies. I cant speak for other round though.

I probably should as I just ordered 1000 9mm and 1000 .40 from Georgia Arms, but I just don't have the time to reload.

It really depends on how much and what type of shooting you'll be doing. If you're just going to be a casual plinker who only puts 100 or so rounds through your gun a month then no, it's definitely not worth it. But if you're going to be any type of competitive shooter who puts hundreds or thousands of rounds downrange or you need ultimate accuracy then yes, it's almost a necessity.

Before investing any $$$ on reloading equipment, the first thing you should buy is a good reloading manual. Take it home and read it two or three times just so you get an idea of what it's all about. Reloading is very easy to do but, it requires the utmost care and concentration. Doing it right is very rewarding but, doing it wrong can be catistrophic.
