I'm retired and have reloaded ammo since 1974. I have no problem shooting 300 rounds of 38 spl WC in 1 hour.

I also cast bullets. My original equipment was bought and paid for in 1974 to 1979. I now have 2 Dillon 550 presses, six Lee 6-cavity and a dozen Lyman 2- and 4-cavity bullet molds, all paid for after ONE casting session based on the current price of purchased cast bullets.

All my ammo: 38 spl, 9 MM, 40 S&W, 45 ACP ammo costs less than cheap 22 LR based on 50 round boxes. 357 mag cost $4.30 and 44 mag cost is $5.50 because of heavier powder charges for 50 rounds.

I don't save money reloading because I shoot a lot because reloaded bullets are cheap. I buy primers and powder whenever I find it on sale; primers $20 per thousand and powder $20 per pound. It doesn't happen often but I buy all the cheap stuff I find at gun shows, yard sales, or gun shop sales. Now I have a 5+ year inventory of powder and primers.

Start reloading now, it will not get cheaper!
