@lskw1 This is a great way to start... I loaded my first round a month ago and I just finished my thousandth .40 tonight... plus 300+ .45 ACP and a couple hundred .30-06 so far. It took me a long time to work up the desire/courage/gumption to get started but it's actually very enjoyable for me.
@jeffshootsstuff dang man workin non stop at that...lol.. i think i would enjoy it as well but just gotta get out and do it.. about how much would it cost you per box of 50 in .40 with reloading...i always judge my prices off boxes of 50.. you know the walmart specials!
@lskw1 If you scrounge your brass (I do) and scrounge your lead (I don't) and cast your own bullets (I don't) I understand you can get it to about 4 cents a shot or so, which is 2 bucks for a box of 50. Current prices for these plated bullets run about 11 cents/shot. I'm using powder and primers I inherited, so a box of 50 costs me about 5.50. Primers are about .03/shot, and powder is about $.01, so figure about $.15/shot or 7.5 bucks per 50 if you buy primers/powder also. :) 9mm is cheaper.
@jeffshootsstuff thats about 50% savings.. and im sure it really helps out in the long run..thanks man looking forward to more reloading vids if you end up doing more
thats real neat man.. i enjoy reloading videos. i don't do it myself but have been really thinking of getting into it

I have this same press, except I don't have the primer feeder. You can't beat Lee. They have the best prices in reloading.
