Gotta say I only reload revolver pistol ammo. I used to do 45ACP but gave that up. Straight case revolver is the simplest easiest stuff to reload IMO and the only issue now is getting the components or the cost of same I guess. Mostly primers cost. Revolvers can be loaded with a wider variety of bullets and powders compared to the more critical auto and your brass stays in the gun, instead of going off into neverland. I started loading with a Lee Loader cheap tool, a box of spent cases, one can of powder and I forget what bullets, but now I use alot of cast lead. I thus give zero toots about the cost of factory 38 or 357 with the resources I have on hand. Except I don't have the latest amazing space bullets that turn into a spinning chopper on impact. Supposedly.
