      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      Are you just talking about the expense of the equipment when you compare "cheap and sorta fast" vs. "fast and relatively expensive"? Of course I know nothing about reloading yet, but I don't see why once you have whatever equipment your are going to buy, why it would be more expensive on one...

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      I really appreciate the input. However, I'm just looking to load up some ammo fast and cheap. I need to know how to dial in a seriously automated system like the deal B and then pull a lever...again...and again...and again. I understand there is a "purist" aspect of the hobby, but for now...

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      I HATE DON'S. I asked them what their cheapest box of 50 rounds .45ACP was...$38.99. Ok dude! I've driven out to the country east of Fishers. I'm seriously considering knocking on doors and asking farmers politely if I may shoot on their land...I saw some awesome areas will hills for backstops.

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      I want to be able to crank out as many "factory grade" loads as possible and as cheaply as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. If I had it my way, I would live outside of town on land where I could shoot every night. Now I am relegated to half-hour slots at the lanes at Don's...

      Wow. Thanks Prometheus. Can you compare the Dillon Square B to the Lee Load Master? The Dillon is a 4 stage and the Lee is 5 stage...I just watched a youtube video one the Lee Load Master...it looked pretty awesome and I was amazed how fast it went.

      Oh wait...it looks like it does.

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      Perfect! So...the cheapest I have been able to find is about $340 for 1000 rounds. As a conservative estimate, I'll go with your $0.25, or $0.09 per round savings. That would be about 4,500 rounds until I recover my cost if I go with the Dillon Square Deal 'B'. I guess it is more of a hobby...

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      Holy crap! 300-500 rounds per hour!?! That is bad ass. How much do the materials cost for 500 rounds of .45ACP?

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      Thanks...and also to everyone else for your help. So my first question hasn't been answered...once I have a setup, how much is the average per round cost? I think my best bet is to first read a book and see what it involves, learn what all the terms mean, etc. Right? The class offered by...

      .45ACP Reloaders: I have $500 and know nothing

      I just ordered the ABC's of Reloading because I'm intrigued and haven't the first clue what any item in the sticky is referring to. I'm very mechanical and meticulous and think I'd enjoy the process. I've limited myself to $500 for equipment (not components) to get started. I have no idea...

      Best .45 1911 you can buy for <800

      Do you need it right now? Give it a few months, save another $500, and buy a Kimber.

      You get what you pay for. I bought an Eclipse Custom II yesterday. I'd never shot a .45 before. This is 28 rounds from 40 feet...only two hits outside of a 2 inch circle.

      Sounds awesome. I can't wait to become a member!

      Elwood isn't exactly close to Fishers. You'll probably spend $85 you saved on membership on gas. ;)

      Thanks! Is there staff that works the clubhouse or is it just come and go as you please?

      Hamilton County Fish & Game Members?

      Yeah. With a wife and two boys under 2, I can't really be "making a day of it". I need to be able to head over for a half an hour or an hour at a time somewhere close by.

      Hamilton County Fish & Game Members?

      I live in Fishers. I'm not from Indiana so I don't know anyone with land who will let me shoot. I don't care to shoot indoors so I am planning on joining HCFG. I've already filled out my Membership Application. The only problem is that to be a member, I need to attend 3 meetings...
