Dang, you are a rookie. That's one of the first thing I did after getting interested in guns again, build up the ammo stash.

That Big Boy in Greensburg isn't too bad, the Wife and I eat there every once in a while.

I go out there about once or twice a year. When they were in Indy, I was on a first name basis with the girl that worked the drive thru.

Lesson 1, there is no such thing as too much ammo. Always buy ammo when you have a couple of bucks.

I do, but I have shot a lot this year. It has paid off though. I sucked big time at first, but I have seen vast improvements in the last 3-4 months.

That's why I started to reload, I get to shoot more, and I can work on my stock. Win, win. (reloading makes for quiet daddy time too.)

Plus, it's better quality ammo. I shoot my better groups with my AR's with my reloads than factory ammo. For much cheaper.

What does a decent set up for reloading cost? Specifically for 9mm.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I'd like to reload, but then I have to choose between buying the equipment or my next gun.

Start with a Lee kit, add dies, powder, primers, projectiles and you can get started for about $200. That's what I did a few years ago, and added to it as I needed. (it is addicting)

Looks like I need to get educated.

I got started in a very nice set up for $600. I have added to it, but that's what I had in it at first.

 

[nakinate]

I don't know anyone who reloads so I'll have to ask around on here to figure it out.

I love the concept but the design worries me. If you ran over a stick or some debris, it could catch on that handle and open the valve while you're driving. I'd prefer it operated with some kind of key or maybe an allen wrench.

I used to reload...hadn't in a while

Go see Andrew at Profire, he has forgotten more about reloading than most people know.

I don't think so.

 

[nakinate]

I bet I could convince my best friend to go in on a reloading set up with me. Where would be a good place to get the supplies?

 

[SaintsNSinners]

Im hunting for a used Hornady Lock N Load AP

 

[SEIndSAM]

It's really easy to do, just follow directions and don't be afraid to throw away mistakes.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Looks like I need to get educated.

Go talk to Andrew @ Profire, he also has classes. I didn't take a class, just read and asked questions. I will tell you that everyone has opinions on what is better, Glock or 1911 type debate.

I think I'll do that.

Profire on the west side of Indy.
