@ooorah152 , Depends on the caliber and type of bullet you're comparing. We probably save from 20% to 50%. It just depends. Actually, we don't really save any money; we shoot more ammo and end up spending MORE money on ammo. :-)

Please don't judge, I only turn 21 on the 22nd of march so i don't even own a handgun yet, but i have a few question and some answers will be greatly appreciated.
Question 1. Where do i get a press like Hickcok is using?
Question 2. What does a press cost?
Question 3 and 4. Where do i get all the brass, powder, primers, and lead? What do they all cost.
Finally 5th question. Does loading your own bullets really, really make that big a difference and save you as much money?(example. Wal-mart se

I have thought about getting a powder tower for my press, but I've been worried about inconsistencies in the powder loaded into the shell. How acurate are they?

where r u on the range i cant find you

@hickok45 Exactly! I was going to get a 650, but the 550 for me is actually better BECAUSE it is more manual, allows YOU to control IT and thus make more safe loads. You control when brass goes in, you control when it moves to the next station (great for setting up and checking).

You should have a video reloading your shotgun shells.

awesome id love to be able to shoot enough to have the need for this kind of stuff... maybe one day

@Hickok45, Witch is cheaper, handloading or just buying new ammo? I am aware of the variables, if you could give me a quick lesson it would be much appreciated.

@initvesa Yes,Youtube、Facebook、Twitter..
......All blocked by GFW(great fire wall)!By the equipment offered from cisco! But internet is so amazing that some anti-china-government organization from USA offers some free software to climb over the Wall!I don't much like these organizations but I really like the software:)
lance and shield all from USA,what a pity for all chinese!
Reason is:secure function is not seriously considered when internet is originally designed,so it's not safe but agile!

@gascanbad How did you get on Youtube? I thought this site is blocked over there.

Why do you use fmj bullets instead of cast? I guess you shoot enough to want to avoid handling and breathing in lead huh?
Oh!dillon!So expensive and reliable!maybe a “lee pro ”can do the same thing!search “Lee Pro 1000 Bullet Feeder ”strongly recommended!
By the way ,both dillon and lee can offer auto cartridge case feeder,auto primer feeder,and auto bullet feeder ,together!with different mechanical way,but who cares!
So after preparation,you just need to pull the bar!easy and efficient!
strongly recommended

@gascanbad, Well, I hope they've improved the Lee Pro 1000. I had four of them prior to getting my Dillon presses. I spent all my time trying to keep them operating. That was many years ago; as I said, hopefully, they've improved them a great deal since then. I couldn't get rid of the things fast enough after I discovered Dillon. Lee makes a lot of good stuff - no doubt. Good company.

@hickok45 The point I wanna say is to add auto brass feeder and auto bullet feeder on your dillon!Then you needn't put a brass on the base under the dies by hand every time you pull the bar!And also you needn't put the bullet on the brass by hand everytime if you add a auto bullet feeder system on your dillon!
search the video and you will see how the feeder system work!
I am not a lee seller!I'm in china so i even don't have a real handgun(illegally conceals an airsoft kimber1911:)
