Reloading holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, my late grandpap would sit in his chair, overseeing my reloading while telling an untold number of hunting stories that I just loved. I can't even tell you what I'd pay to get to relive a couple hours of reloading with him.

I have been reloading for over 40 years Taught to by my Father. And the best way to describe it is you can shoot about 5 times more for the same money . Of course my reloading equipment has paid for itself many times over So I don’t even factor that cost into it. And I get better accuracy and enjoyment out of it. It’s a great Hobby. Cheers

As I agree with you about time reloading... For those who would argue for the notion of charging for time reloading... Look at the difference between your time cleaning & your money you'd spend getting your house cleaned. Figure out the value difference in percentage & that is public perception of what your time is worth.

@@thisguyiscool4826 "how long?" depends on type of equipment, nature of round (plinking ammo for handguns is pretty simple, rifle ammo for 1000 yard competition takes more time) and skill of loader, which increases with experience. If you're going to be loading and shooting pretty general ammunition, I would suggest a progressive for faster output than a single stage press. I have Dillon equipment, and at the risk of sounding like a paid spokesman - which I am not - I suggest the Dillon 550 type progressive loader. It will do any handgun round and many centerfire rifle rounds. Cost is a bit steep, but the guarantee cannot be beat and buying the dirty dog cheapest stuff provides one the dirty dog cheapest stuff. With that rig and some application, I would think 50 rounds in an hour or less would be easy. This does include the cleaning, trimming and such which will make itself known later on. One can work at one's own preferred pace, too. The 50 rounds can be done in less sizable batches, as well. Do five, get interrupted, then come back and do ten more. Sleep, do ten more. You get the idea. I will warn you the hobby is addictive and demands attention. But not substantially more than doing dishes and not breaking stuff.

I did (roughly) this same financial break-down around 20-years ago...when primers were around $0.03, .223 projectiles were around $0.19, and powder was around $0.20 a charge...and assuming I could keep finding 'first-fired' brass (at my local range), it all came out around $0.42-$0.45 a load. Compared to decent 'match grade' .223, I was only gaining around $1 a box by reloading...but my big gainers were with my .300 Win Mag and .308 Win...all, to pay off a $300 RCBS Master Rockchucker Kit (with other accessories, around $500 total)...while the .223 (at the time) was a 'wash', it's the 'larger calibers' that often 'make the payment'. NEVER FORGET, that with powerful cartridges, however, you get a lot of brass 'wall thinning', so where you might get 4-5 reloads from a .223...that big .300 WM will thin walls out FAST (2-3 reloads, at MAX!)...so if you are buying brass, OUCH...so much for 'economy'...but if you are actually taking great care in your loads...NEVER FORGET, don't compare that 'super-economy' store-bought trash to what you are loading for a price-point...use top-end 'match grade' pricing...or else you are comparing Hyundai's to Rolls Royces as if they were equal!

I got setup for reloading about 8 years ago. I went the Dillon way and have never regretted it. Their warrantee is by far the best. I have had parts that I flat out wore out replaced no questions asked. I mainly bought my press for pistol reloading but have had excellent results reloading rifle. Component purchase sucks now. My sources where I used to purchase ammo components flat went out of business. You can't eat selling components if there are no components available. This is the longest drought that I can remember. The manufacturers bullshit about new hunter shooters buying all the ammo up is a lie. People are buying because everyone is afraid that the government is going to attack our rights and we don't know when we will be able to buy more stuff. I myself am primer poor. I have bullets, I have powder, I have brass and I have almost no primers. Now I have calibers I wish to load and can't find powder to load them certainly. I can tell you this I am not shooting anything for sport anymore. No more IDPA, no more 3 gun. IT SUCKS! FJB

I got into reloading when I bought my .257 Weatherby 10 years ago. I bought it to save money vs buying the then $80-90/box of 20 factory Weatherby ammo. I’ve said it to many - when you buy a Weatherby, they should sell you a reloading system with it! Originally, I bought an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme kit. I’ve replaced almost everything but the press. Lots of information on what to buy, but more importantly was having a friend of mine show me how to do it. I definitely don’t regret getting into it - but plan on spending $800-1k in equipment. I now reload for my 30-06, my Dad’s .270, along with the Weatherby (when ND graces me with a lottery tag), and I now am very grateful for reloading abilities. I was fortunate to have bought supplies for all a few years ago as I now see all the shelves vacant for ‘06 and .270. It’s nice sighting in and printing clover leafs for all!

Once you start getting into the larger rifle or magnum pistol rounds, you can rack up some considerable savings while reloading. My budget buster is a 35 Whelen. When you can find the ammo, it is going to $2 or more per round. But it is a beast with pretty much any load your roll for yourself.

The point of handloading in my eyes is and always has been to tune a load to my particular firearm for better performance (accuracy, power) and/or to use a bullet or configuration not available from the factory. I can load high performance bullets like Hammer Hunters to push the 223 Remington past its perceived performance limits, or I can make subsonics for quiet work, reducing the number of firearms I need to take with me at any given moment.

I started reloading in 1975 for 357. I had a rockchucker mounted on 3/4" plywood C-clamped to the kitchen table, a pound of Unique, a set of Lee spoons, RCBS powder funnel, 357 dies (No one told me to buy 38 special) CCI primers, and 158 gr lead SWCs, 50 Winchester 357 cases. The spoons came with a chart of spoon size versus various powder weights. I chose one that was about 70% max. Those were my first 500 reloads. From there I bought a Pacific triple beam, Lyman 55 powder measure I still use. Today I still use the rockchucker for special rifles, have a MEC 750, and a Dillon 650 and a lot on ancillary stuff. My advice is buy one piece at a time. Talk to friends, read reloading manuals. Sierra is the best. Watch videos. Take your time. Don't take any advice from the big gun/sport stores. Most are BS artists. Good luck and good shooting.

I've had my reloading gear for thirty years. Nothing fancy, just good basic equipment which got started with an RCBS press. I still dispense powder loads the old fashioned way (a volumetric powder dispenser) and then trickle into a pan on a triple beam balance. (I am not exactly a high volume reloader! I go for consistency thus accuracy.) My point here is not so much the cost of reloading. Whenever reloading components went on sale back in the day, I'd load up. I knew which powders I wanted, which bullets I used and what primers I used. I have seldom had to buy brass as it's available at the range for the cost of picking it up. If you like Brand X brass, someone will be shooting Brand X factory loads. One weekend at my range must have featured "Federal .30-06 Days" because on Monday I picked up over 100 cases, all shiny and new. Powder and primers kept stored in a cool, dry place have a very long shelf life. Even after opening a container, it still can last decades. Unopened containers (properly sealed) if properly stored, I suspect will last longer than my lifetime. So, the point is, I'm still loading and shooting while many fellow nimrods have been forced to give it up for the duration. I have no opinion on the cause of the shortage of ammo and components because I don't care. It doesn't effect me. I'm down to my last pound of IMR 4350 but I've still got plenty of other powders, about 2/3 of which is unopened. So, when the supplies get up again, DON'T buy massive amounts. That will just creates another shortage. Slowly buildup an inventory. And when the next shortage hits (and it will), you'll be fine.

Yes reloading is a necessary skill. Especially these day. I bought an RCBS Rock Chucker kit in the 1970’s. I still have all the original components of that kit and I still use them all. I have recouped my original investment many times over. I bought a lot of primers, powder, and bullets in bulk back in the day and still have enough left to last the rest of my shooting days. Primers we’re a penny each, powder was about $5 a pound and bullets we’re about $5 for 50. It pays to think ahead. Young people getting started now should buy the best starter set they can afford and buy as many components, in bulk, as they can afford now so they can enjoy a lifetime of reloading. The prices won’t come down. Years from now these prices will seem so cheap and they will kick themselves in the butt for not buying more while they were cheap. You will be able to pass this stuff on to your kids and grandkids and they will enjoy cheap reloading too

Reloading for me is a hobby, it’s about the tightest groups I can get with my rifles ( within reason ). Reloading in Canada if you shoot often is definitely less expensive if your shooting pistol. Prices here in Canada are insane compared to what the good folks in the US pay. I have a progressive press, so it doesn’t take too much time. I always collect more pistol brass than I shoot at the range so brass isn’t a factor.

I started with a Hornady progressive press vs start up kit. I’m glad I stocked up on components when I did. I can’t believe the prices on primers. 10-20 cent for a primer? It’s crazy. I paid 2-3 cent even at the end of 2019. During this covid and BLM times, Im still loading 9mm for 12 cent a round. 500 mag after 3 rounds on brass, I’m down to 50 cent a round. Two factors for me, 1. It’s a hobby, time don’t matter. 2. When there is some national crisis and Ammo shortage, I now have enough components that will outlast it. Probably will outlast my life.

I've always hunted with a 270 and love that caliber. I sure hope whoever took my guns a few years back is enjoying my Browning A bolt medallion that I owned. I will say though, I'm loving the 243 so far and the accuracy it has been shooting. I'm shooting nickel sized groups so far at 100 yards. I havent got the opportunity yet to stretch its legs yet but am looking forward that day for sure. Awesome caliber for sure!

I'm retired and for the last 2 1/2 years my wife and I lived in an RV full time while we traveled the U.S.. I like to shoot and reload, so I purchased a Lee Hand Press ( no room in our RV for a bench mount ). I use RCBS carbide dies, with Hornady locking rings and a portable Hornady digital scale. My setup is very basic, inexpensive , it's slow, but I enjoy it and it works extremely well for my needs. So you don't need to invest a whole lot to get started. When I first started reloading .38 spl. and .357 mag. I started with Lee Classic Hand Loaders. I enjoyed reloading with them and I still have them and use them from time to time. My wife and I purchased a house in Kentucky and moved in 2 days ago. But I have no plans to upgrade from my Lee Hand Press, I'm perfectly happy with it. Nice video, thanks for sharing. JT P.S. As far as reloading equipment goes, can you really consider the price if it's a hobby that brings you joy? It's like buying a painting vs creating one. Yes, it cost money for art supplies, but it's a hobby and it brings you joy. To create your own ammunition and be able to go to the range and see how good it works brings me joy, it's a hobby.

I watched this clip yesterday, because it was at work I could not comment. I really think this discussion depends on a couple of things. Most of the comments below are from people who use Ammunition Reloading as a hobby or a time outlet activity. Their comments are spot on, and I respect their point of view. However I have not seen any comments by "Volume Reloaders" such as myself. My wife and I for 25+ years worked for Department of Homeland Security as Armed Security Officers in the Bay Area. Having this job requires you to maintain your skills, seek alternate and advanced training, maintain those skills and maintain your relative licenses for carrying your firearm(s) on duty. That said, all of this requires ammunition to go to the range and practice. And, practice we did! During this period in our career(s) ammunition costs were always a discussion with our relative employers. Yes they were requires to cycle their duty ammunition but they always were very snotty, (downright ...hole'ish), about the 'Expired" duty ammunition. "Cheap" practice ammunition is a myth here in California, and it still is. With the special taxes collected, your average box of 50 Rounds of: 9mm, .40 S&W, .38 Special, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum; will run you a cool $40.00 per box. (Average of $35.00), depending on where you get your ammo from, yes including Wally-World. Dry practice will only get you so far, and cannot take the place of live fire exercises. Using Airsoft as a Practice Tool is a great alternative provided you can get the Green Gas you need to operate your pistol. The issue with Airsoft, is the Magazines are expensive, and you still have to be careful about where you practice because the pistols look and operate just like the real thing. Lastly, Airsoft Pistols were not designed for heavy practice sessions, the seals in them do not hold up to long practice sessions. As a Volume Reloader I reload on average 1000 to 2000 rounds per loading session. I do not reload Rifle Cartridges, as my collection is mainly restored WWII Military Rifles, so nearly all of my rifles are fed Military Surplus which they are happy to burn, and at Gun Shows I can get that Burdan Primed Ammunition cheap. Yes some of it is corrosive, but you people who don't clean your rifles after their shooting sessions get what you deserve! Clean your guns! For pistol reloading this is not a hobby for myself. This becomes necessary to maintain handgun training. Average shooting sessions are from 250 to 500 rounds per training session. So when I tell you that 1000 rounds of 9mm goes very quick, I'm not kidding. Its not like "John Wick", but timed sessions for quick draw and many other tactical training sessions, you burn up ammunition. Its a simple as that. On average My wife and I, while we were on Contract would easily burn 10,000 to 15,000 rounds per year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. So we had to find a way to reduce the sheer costs of the ammunition and the answer was reloading. I never played around with experimenting with other Loading Data once I researched the "Sweet Spot" for the accuracy and reliability of the "Cookie Recipe" as I referred to it. My goal was to duplicate Duty Ammunition velocities, accuracy, reliability and energy on every cartridge. Once the presses were set, and rolling I never changed the adjustments other than to return them to their previous settings. Powder drops were carefully and regularly checked, and finished cartridges were AOL Checked in Gauge then weighed to be sure they were in spec. This was mainly done to ensure accurate powder drops were being maintained, (very easy setting on a digital scale). Any cartridges not meeting minimums was discarded, broken down with a Kenetic Hammer and run through the process again. (Never De-Cap Live Primers). I used WD40 to kill them before De-Capping. Initial setup costs seemed to not be a benefit for any of this until I did all of my math to pay for the presses, which was on Box 20, (50 Rounds), of what ever caliber I was reloading at the time. The presses I have been using for all of this is a pair of Lee Pro-1000 Progressive 3 Stage Turret Presses, I have never had any failures in these presses, and finish all cartridges single stage with the Lee Factory Crimp Die in their relative calibers. Friends of mine have tried to get me into RCBS or Dillion, I cannot justify their costs because I do not reload Rifle Calibers, and if I did the rifle cartridges would be loaded Single Stage mainly because they need more attention than Pistol Cartridges where you are not dealing with a bottle-necked cartridge. Currently we are no longer working on the Federal Contracts, so the volume requirements have significantly reduced, but the reloading sessions are still done at 1000 round lots when needed. But I felt I needed to address this from a person who in the past reloaded by volume. I would only say this... The investment I made in the reloading equipment at the time was a justifiable expense, and the presses have paid for themselves more than 30 times over in savings. But I also recognize that I fall into the vast minority of reloaders in this instance.

Iraq Veteran 8888 made the point that reloading saves a worthwhile amount of money if you're loading specialty loads like hunting, match grade, and self defense loads. From what I've seen on pricing, this is about right. I've recently started loading 308, and the cheapest factory ammo I've been able to find is the M80 147 grain 7.62 Nato for about $1.26 per round. The cheapest hunting ammo I've seen is around $1.75 per round. By reloading, my material cost is closer to $1 per round (if not slightly less) if I don't have to buy brass, and just slightly more than the factory M80 if I do have to buy brass that roughly $0.50 per round minimum difference (factory loads with the same Hornady bullet my load uses is between $2-3 per round) goes a long way in the long term

I was blessed with receiving most of my machines for free or when I picked them up at yard sale mercy deals, reloading has always been cheaper for me. Brass was always free to pick up or was given because nobody wanted it, primers were dirt cheap, I bought my powder and primer years ago, casting bullets or buying jacketed bullets when they were on sale was the best way to go. My average cost to reload 45 ACP, 9mm, 38 / 357, 44 magnum LSW, RN, or FMJ would be around $6 - $9 per 50 rds up to $140 per 1000, I would reuse brass and empty boxes, my competition match grade 223 or 308 would run about $8 - $10 per 20 rds. Now a days I wouldn't consider buying any supplies at these mad max Armageddon prices. I started reloading when I was 16 years old and I it grew on me as a hobby, most people 30 years ago told me it was a waste of time and the cost didn't make up for the time consumed by the operation. I wish I could see what they'd say about all of this now.

I love reloading for my 44 mags. Most off-the-shelf rounds (if you can find them) are 180 or 240 grain JHPs (which are fine) and are over $1 a round. Reloading lets me make powder-puff loads using Trail Boss and cast lead, or I can jack it up to a 325-grain hard cast pushing 1300 fps using H110. Reloading (if done competently) also lets you eliminate nearly all chance of error. I weigh every single charge, inspect every case and primer, seat every bullet. I know what is in every single round, which is some nice peace of mind.

44 is why I originally got into it, largely because 44 SPL was non-existent around here and sometimes I wanted to shoot a light load in my revolver. Then I got a lever-action 44 Mag and factory loads were too light so I worked up a loading from the rife data to get some ammo that really takes advantage of that longer barrel. Also if you're cursed with a finicky semi-auto that seems to hate most factory ammo it's nice to have a loading worked up that you can create consistently and not have to be parting with the firearm instead just to pass the issue onto someone else.

I'm still reloading my .303 British ammo for about $0.38/round, about $0.73/round if you include new brass. Last time I bought supplies and factory ammo was October of 2020 when I scored a blueprinted action 1943 Long Branch Enfield No.4 Mk1* off the consignment rack for a mere $200 (had no sights, but I got new old stock iron sights for another $100). The factory ammo, which at the time ran $2/round, had terrible accuracy (about 3" at 100 yards from a bench vice). The rounds also didn't match the ballistic arc of the Mk1 milled iron sight I installed, so whatever Winchester was loading them with wasn't matching the ballistics of the WWII ammo the rifle was meant to have. I ended up tweaking the recipe, settling on Winchester match grade large rifle primers (found a box of 1,000 for $30 at my local store), 42gn of Winchester 760 ball powder, Winchester case (fire-formed to my chamber, neck resize only), and a 180gn Sierra soft-point Spitzer bullet (0.311" diameter). My rifle likes the load big time, and those groups at 100 yards shrank down to 0.93" average. My reloading kit fits in my pocket. It's one of those Lee Precision kits that requires a rubber mallet. Cost a mere $50. Brass trimming kit was only a few bucks. Also picked up a pocket size Franklin Armory powder scale, for, oh, $20, maybe $30? I also bought a simple Franklin Armory brass tumbler thing (big vibrating bowl you fill with crushed walnut hulls). Furthermore, I timed how fast I can reload with powder precision at +(-)0.01gn quality control. Takes me 3 minutes per cartridge. Slow, I know, but my ammo is extremely consistent and accurate now, and about $1.62 cheaper than factory ammo. I seem to have matched the WWII ballistics as well, as my Mk1 sight is on the money be it at the battle sight 200 yard zero, or with the sight flipped up and set to 450 yards. At 450 yards, I'm consistently hitting 18" plates, and at 350 yards I'm nailing 8" plates without trouble. Reloading is worth it, and depending what you're reloading for, you don't have to spend a crazy amount of money. You do, of course, need to know both the pros and cons of only resizing the neck. Definitely worth it, and I, too, enjoy it. It's become a sort of meditation for me, clearing my head, forgetting all my troubles, only focusing on the reloading procedure and quality control. I made the mistake of trying to listen to podcasts, and ended up reloading 6 rounds that had too little powder (which can potentially blow up your gun). Thank goodness my final quality control check was to weigh all my reloaded rounds against a control round I marked, and keep with the kit. If weight and seat depth don't match, I pull the bullet and start over. I now weigh them against the control cartridge after each reload instead of at the end of the batch. Lets me catch mistakes sooner. Definitely figure out your quality control routine, stay safe, and enjoy reloading!

What I like about hand loading is not just the cost savings, but the challenge of finding really good loads for different guns. Probably the biggest variant of firearms I have is in 44 Mag. Short barrel DA/SA revolver, SA 7.5" revolver and and a lever gun. What is a stout round in the SA revolver will blow holes through 1/4" plate with hollow points in the lever gun. Found some lead hollow points for use in reduced power loads in the short barrel revolver that do massive expansion. The loads for the SA and lever gun were not reliable in the 3" barrel. Plus, you can develop loads for your rifles with different weight bullets and find powder/charge combinations that give consistent points of aim close enough to not require re-zero when switching loads.

I've been "rolling my own" for 30+ years and it never was about the savings or perceived savings.. I love the science and technical aspects of reloading and I like to shoot.. Part of reloading is making your own bullets. Either by casting, jacketed bullet swaging, and other bullets making processes. Think about the last time you saw 357 Mag at your local gun shop and how much it was..... This week I did a little over a 1000 rounds of 357 Magnum. Most were loaded with powder coated lead bullets I made but I had both 125gr Berry's plated and 125 Hornady XTP HP I loaded. Finishing a batch of 180gr 357 Mag SP "Deer Slayers" to finish this season and have plenty for the next couple seasons for my Rossi M92. I also load ammo you didn't see much before the Scamdemic and now you never see. Ammo like 32 S&W, 32 H&R Mag, 38 Super, 44 Special, 357 Sig, and a really rare 41 Action Express.. I remember buying full cases of 5000 count Federal Gold Medal Match small and large pistol primers for $65 back in the late 90's.. Still got a box and half I'm about to use up on some 40S&W next week..

During the primer shortage, i actually reloaded used primers using rolls of red caps. Like for kids toy pistols. It was time consuming for sure, but I was able to run 90 rounds 9mm and 30 of 223 without a hitch. I only did it to see if it would actually work. I even made a tool to flatten the firing pin dent using an old c-clamp. There is no longer a primer shortage but at least i know i wont be without.

My trip to the local gunshop three days ago, I found literally a pallet each of 9 mm and 5.56. I didn't find a universal de-capper die of any brand. .35 Creedmoor? Try finding .35 Remington.

You are correct about the criminally high prices for .410 bore shotgun shells. I have never understood the "why for".

In automotive speak it would be like Chevrolet charging the same for a "Vega" as for a Four wheel drive, dual cab, Pick-up truck. I've bought a 20 gauge single-shot to teach the Grandkids how to shoot shotguns. The .410 ammo is too expensive, and easier to miss the target. I own Reloading presses for 12, 16, and 20 gauge. Considering the criminally high prices that the little shop in town wants for a box of Federal 12 gauge, #4 lead shot Pheasant loads , ( $33 for 25 shells ), I have to reload my own ammo.
