Greetings Everyone...
I was just at my favorite site to buy ammo. Just a few months ago, Federal 38G, their version of the .38 +P FBI load was $17.95. It is now $29.95!!!!
I only bought 4 boxes. I wish I could have bought a truck load!!!

Yep. It's nuts! I don't think we'll see much change, if any, for a while.

You could have bought a reloading press for what you paid for those four boxes.  You would need dies and what not, but the lions share of your setup would be paid for. Unless prices have gone up on reloading equipment you should be able to turn out your first finished cartridge with an initial investment of around $150.00. Save your brass.

I used to reload years ago. I used to hate it.. lol. I don't really shoot much, so rather not bother. Don't really have much time.
If I ever did, I would buy a Dillon press. A friend of mine shoots 2 - 3 times a week and uses a Dillon, nice set up.
