Thanks again everyone. I think I'm going to give it a go, and see how I like it. I've been reading a bit, and will continue to do so. I'm sure you'll see some questions from me here on the forum soon enough.
Thanks guys! I normally shoot a few hundred a month, but have gone through 1000 in a weekend a couple times recently. And I like to keep a good stock of ammo loaded and on hand at all times.
I'm in Royal Oak (Metro Detroit) MI.
Thanks for the advice everyone, and for answering my questions without attitude ... I'm leaning towards taking the plunge into reloading.
Can anyone point me to a good guide for prepping brass? A step-by-step that would help me figure out what gear is needed and such?
"When I go fishing I don't figure in how much time it took to catch the fish to see how much money that fish cost me compared to buying it in the store."
Fair enough! :) How about a rough guess on "the main processing. (sizing, decaping, trim, clean pockets, chamfer/debur)"?
Thanks guys - very good point about not rushing for safety reasons. I'm definitely feeling drawn to reloading - it looks like an interesting add-on to my shooting hobby.
I'm just have not gotten any idea on how long it takes to prep cases. Would prepping 100 cases an hour be reasonable...
I guess that's my question - how long would it take to prep the brass myself?
I want to work out a savings per hour. If I can save 10 cents a round, but I can only get 100 rounds ready in a hour start to finish, then that's $10 an hour. Not a great rate for my free time really.
Hey guys, newbie question here. I'm considering getting into reloading for the cost savings, and am trying to figure out how much time it takes to load 1000 rounds. At this point I would be trying to replicate standard range ammo, not anything high precision.
I'd be reloading rifle ammo...
