AWESOME!! Thanks guys, you would not believe what a (small) local gunshop guy near my house actually charges for re-loading lessons...of course (he managed to say with a straight face), he provides the equipment AND it's "hands on" for everyone...but the lesson charges are as much as a beginner single stage, and you DON'T get to keep any of the equipment!

Great information - I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

Shop in Pinellas county, Florida

There is a shop in our town..I don't know if he ships..but for 500 rounds of 230grain RN ball ammo...he charges $135 with brass exchange and $155 without brass! If you go with 1000 rounds, it's basically double that! He also has 50 and 250 ct. packages as well. $135 divided by 500 = .27 per round. .27 x 100 = $27 per 100. He uses Montana Gold bullets and 4.8g Tite Group as a powder..with CCI primers. The shops name is GS Custom guns and ammo. His number is 727-541-2200. Gary is the owners name. Again..I don't know if he ships..but it may be worth it to call. His loads are EXCELLENT. As much as I reload...I have only one bullet/powder combination that is as accurate as his. At his prices, it's almost not worth reloading! However..I'm still searching for the Holy Grail in loads!

The shop that I just posted about actually taught me how ro reload...for free! I had to volunteer a few hours sorting brass..which sucks..but the information was well worth the time! I'm am forever grateful to him for sharing his knowledge for just a few hours of volunteer work!

i just don't have time to reload. it'd be nice to save money, but i can't quite my job and fore go other obligations to sit in my basement pumping a loading press.

It only takes about an hour for each 50 rounds I reload I use AA#5 and 200 grain Hornady xtp's but I use Hornady CD when I carry . Over 500 posts in less than a month you have time to reload.
