Hey guys, with the prices of ammo skyrocketing, and most stores (online and local) being sold out, I started looking into reloading or maybe manufacturing my own 9mm rounds (for personal use).
I've been researching for a few days and thought i'd ask some of your opinions.
As far as the cost goes, just perusing online the materials including:
Brass, Powder, Primer, and the actual bullet equate to about 50% of what i'd pay retail in qty of 1000.
If I don't purchase the brass (and just reload those that i've personally fired) it will be closer to 35% what i'd pay retail.
I've seen several presses and i'm interested in the Lee Load Master as this is something i'm interested in doing.
I wanted some insight from people who reload, all the promo video's look great but how do these machines actually work, do you use a progressive press or a single stage? Do you use bullet and case feeders? Have you ever had an issue with a reloaded round?
If your comment is going to be "You're going to blow your hand off" or "you're going to damage your weapon" please link to a case where this has happened as I have looked and looked and found only what "could" happen and never what has happened.
Anyone else looking to get into this?
