you guys are speaking my language now. i live on a shooting range so reloading is a way of life. i started on a lee classic single stage press. last year i upgraded to a dillon 550b progressive. i still load rifle on my lee, but the dillon is sooooo much faster for pistol. i currently load .223 rem, 7.62x39 russian, 30-06 springfeild, 30-30 winchester, 9mm, 40sw, 45acp, 38 spec, 357 magnum, 44 magnum, and 12 guage 00 buckshot. i cast all my own pistol bullets out of lead except 44 mag. i just havent bought a mold yet. i spent all day yesterday( when i wasnt with shooters) processing scrap lead into ingots. i did about 150 pounds into 1 pound bars.
we have a pistol shoting contest every month at my range, so i have been gearing up for that. i dont shoot in it, because i have to judge it.
i do shoot alot afterwards though. well actually i shoot alot all the time. everytime somone comes out to shoot. it makes me want to shoot. i think, oh man il just pop off a few rounds. 50 rounds later im wondering where all my ammo went.
im waiting on my new swaging dies to come in from corbin. ive been saving for a while and finally saved enough to buy the set that makes jacketed .223 rem bullets from spent 22lr casings. they were pricey, but with them i will be able to load 100 rounds of .223rem for just under $6. they should be here any day now. HURRY UP UPS!!!!!!
