I have 380, 45 223 and 12 gauge that I shoot occasionally but I go through a lot of 9mm and am getting a nice stockpile of spent brass. I try to go to the range at least once a week and shoot. If I had the equipment to reload I would probably shoot the other calibers more often.
Agreed, and I think you get more knowledge of the process and your own particular firearms by reloading.I collect my own brass.
7-8 cents per bullet, 2-3 cents primer, 2 cents powder = $0.12/rd
It's not the cost of the ammo, it's the idea of IF Necessary, I can turn up 5000 rounds of 9mm overnight, makes me feel good.
That last part is reason enough to keep your eye out for a good deal on a starter press be it a single stage or a 3-4 hole Lee press. There were a few like that on here a few weeks ago.It's not just the cost savings. YOU get to decide when to buy and when to roll your own.I have 380, 45 223 and 12 gauge that I shoot occasionally but I go through a lot of 9mm and am getting a nice stockpile of spent brass.
