Just bought a Springfield Range Officer and looking at getting into reloading. I am able to get stuff at dealer cost (my grandad owns a gunshop). But looking at the price of primers, power, and lead, it looks like it is almost the same as buying 200 factory rounds for $98.36. Am I looking at the prices wrong? It's a hard questions to answer, but how much are you able to save if Magtech 230 grain is 24.59 for a 50 rd box? Sorry so long, thank you

@coltsglock - if you run the reloading costs calculator on Ultimate Reloader (left bar, under info center-->Tools) - for 45 ACP, you'd be looking at about $8.00-ish per box of 50.

That does not include equipment, and assumes hardcast bullets, your own brass, etc.

Your videos are very good, I just wish you would answer more of the questions your viewers ask.

@ferks60 Thanks for the feedback ferks60. If people want to ask questions, the best place is on my website - can't answer all threads from YouTube, my site, and FB.

@DiMoraDiamond Okay, calm down. You love Hornady.

nice wadcutters!

I just bought a 1911 .45ACP and people kept saying you just learn how to make your own ammo... Watching this video I seriously can't believe how easy you made it! AND it actually looks very fun and rewarding to do the entire process by yourself! Amazing! And now you got me looking at buying the equipment!!

A+ video, Clear and very informative! Wish all videos on here were this great!

Thanks,

@aminexy Are you a troll?

@traviscarter21

Is this going to be your first reloading press? If so, do yourself a favor and get a single stage press instead, and learn what it takes to reload. I DO NOT recommend starting out on a progressive press, too much going on at once if you're not sure what you're looking at. If you have already been reloading, pay attention to the case feeder.. I broke t mine within the first 200 rounds. Might be better not to install the case feeder and manually feed the cases for a while.

Thanks for posting that. I just purchased a LoadMaster in .45ACP, and I've already destroyed the case slide and the guide rod. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'm going to order the new parts and try it again. I also had a primer explode last night as I was trying to prime a case, not sure why. Scared me, and my cat is still clinging to the ceiling! :)

Would like to see more videos on detailed set up, Lee's instructions aren't that great. Thanks!

IS THIS LEGALE TO DO IT AT HOME?

@traviscarter21 Mine came with everything but the consumables and the digital scale he was using. Lee sends you a simple but deadly accurate beam scale, You can order it with or without dies. If you want .45ACP your order that model. 9mm etc.

[traviscarter21]

do you highly recommend this press because im ready to order mine....wht else did it come with?

@coltsglock reloading u save alot if u dont have to buy the brass

[BigAgitator]

That's one sexy press. How does the priming action work? I didn't see you backstroking the handle
