I'm looking at the cost of ammo by the case and I'm thinking it may be worthwhile to reload.
Any reloaders on this site? I have reloaded before on a single stage but am not reloading anything now.
I have been looking at progressive's and wonder if there are any recommendations here?
Dillon 1050.
I reload 9mm for about 125 per case.

Im thinking the 1050 is way out of my league. I was thinking the Hornady Lock n load. I have just started looking so I really dont have a good idea yet.
If you want versatility and economy, go Dillon 550 and shoot lead

I'm going to be shooting a P30. It has the polygonal barrel. Can I shoot lead through that?
I also run a Dillon 1050, with a Mr. Bullet feeder. It's a big investment, but if you want to crank out rounds by the caseload, there's nothing finer.
I load 147grn. XTreme Bullets copper-plated LRNs over Hodgdon Titegroup, with a Fiocchi or Federal primer, in once-fired brass. I'm paying about $100-110/case, depending on shipping and bulk discounts.

Thats a good price. I probably won't be cranking out caseloads however. If I set my goal for 3-4000 a year that would probably be the max.
I would like to be able to have the option of inexpensively shooting 124 or 147 for practice.
9 is a little frustrating to reload but it's still worth it; you'll pay off your capital in the first year or two at 4000 rounds per year, faster if you mess with other cartridges. I think that you should look really, really hard at the 550. It's awfully versatile.
