Should you reload?

[Kedric]

My favorite part of the video was "oops". Oops is never good.

Yeah, I tried to seat a bullet without the bullet.

 

[Aszerigan]

Oops is never good, but it's coming from a guy that was throwing .45 ammo at the camera... Hilarity is ensuing.

where do you get you lead as I thought wheel weights were too soft?

Wheel weights are the perfect source as long as they are lead and not zinc.

I pulled into my driveway after work to be greeted by the UPS driver handing me my new ( and first) press

I am ready for Andrews class this Saturday so I can start reloading

Excellent, you are now entering a new phase of the hobby that I myself have found very rewarding for more than 40 years.

I'm not sure where you are located, but Andrew (Profire Arms), hosts basic classes. I provided a link up-thread under "professionals." I attended his class, twice, and learned a great deal. It was especially helpful with getting comfortable and learning how to avoid the hazards that can be encountered when reloading.

Que, finally figured out how to watch the video, hey I'm old, anyway, excellent job at promoting a favorite part of my hobby!!

I live in an apartment in Virginia (dont think the apartment part would hinder reloading?). I actually live close enough to go to the NRA range, which i will be doing this weekend. Never thought of it, but ill keep my eyes open for a flier on someone hosting a reloading class in these parts. Reloading would benefit my friends and i so much, i cant believe none of us have started already.

I started to reload a couple of years ago on a single stage press. That's a great way to get into the hobby. Single stage forces you to focus on each step. This spring, I popped for a Dillon 550 and have been cranking out ammo almost as fast as I can shoot it.

I did have a wake-up call on how much I save when reloading last weekend when we decided to head to the range. I opened the ammo locker and found 5 rounds of 9mm target ammo. I have been focused on doing bulk 45 lately and let the 9mm supply run down. That little mistake cost me $60 in commercial ammo.

BTW, excellent video Que. Thanks for putting that together.

Loved the video! Got into about a year ago and find it very relaxing and great way to save money. I have an old Lee press that I got handed down to me which is what got me into reloading.
Now the hardest problem is finding time to do it. I have little ones and not a lot of space so I have to pack up when I am done so just an hour isnt normally worth it to me.

 

[Menace67]

I think I'm hooked I couldn't wait to come home and use my new press

I have started the decap And size process. After this weekend I should have the know how to follow through to the finished process

Here is a progressive in action!



Click on link to watch.

A Dillon in action!

 

[R.G.Gray]

Do you think a Dillon 550B is too much for a beginner? I hate buying twice.

 

[Lancem]

I see no reason you can't step right in to a progressive. Just take your time and don't let quantity go over quality.
