    What do you spend on reloading in a year?

    In looking at it so far I have spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $500.00 to $600.00 however I have only been doing it for about two months now. The problem that I see is every time I go to the store I think of something that I can use.

    Load Issues in 40 caliber

    I have some check weights that came with the digital scale that weight accordingly, but when I put them on the balance it seems they are off. I am going to see if Lee will warranty the scale and send me a new one.

    Load Issues in 40 caliber

    Thanks for all the info so far everyone. Also just out of curiosity I am using the auto disk powder measure by lee to fill my loads. I check every third or fourth one for the weight. Does anyone have an opinion of this system or should I just go to a manual loading style?

    Load Issues in 40 caliber

    It has not stopped it but, after all the back and forth about Glocks and the barrels I try to clean it after every 150 rounds or so. I just noticed that there is a very heavy buildup compared to shooting factory Winchester ammo issued by my department.

    The search for the missing (possibly) primer.

    Get a box I had this same problem recently except I was tracking spent primers in the house from my garage via my shoes. I noticed that they were in the vacuum when I was vacuuming the other day. So to combat this I placed a box under my table large enough to catch all the spent primers as...
