Just read Tamara's blog post that implied every time Barry opens his mouth and says the word "guns" there is a potential ammo shortage.
Food for thought: 1k of 45s cost me $130, and 1k of 9mm is roughly $70. Bit of cost savings there...

Been reloading before dirt was invented. Good hobby if nothing else.
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

Sorry. I had to. I tried to resist, but I just couldnt.
Sure do. Dillon 650
Taking a break from social media.
I have the equipment to load/reload my own, but for the past year or so I've just been buying my own ammo (I'm shooting 9x19mm and 5.56 NATO). I would rather have more time to spend at the range than loading ammo.
I do load almost all of my own ammo for my revolvers (38 Special, 357 Magnum, and 44 Special).
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

I've been thinking about starting to reload. I've never done pistol or rifle before, only shotgun when I was a kid.
Rather than pistol, the impetus for me is accuracy oriented with my 7.5x55 Swiss rifles. They use regular 7.62/308 bullets, so there's lots one can do with that cartridge, especially considering the awesome platform that fires it. The thing that keeps me from investing in reloading equipment yet is that surplus GP11 Swiss ammo is readily available, match grade, and only costs $0.47 per round.
Yes, on a Dillon 1050.
Wow, really? Are you using cast lead bullets? Last time I priced it out I couldn't get below 15 cents per round with jacketed bullets.
I'm at $120 / case for 9mm, with jacketed bullets and VV powder.
