I've been trying to find a good bulk buy on 9mm for plinking. I had some on order from center fire but they are on indefinite back order. I think I was getting them for around $0.19 a round. Any suggestions on another place?
Keep an eye out at Walmart. They have federal 100 packs for $19.99. Just have to catch them in stock.
And save me your brass.
All of you.
Seriously.
I haven't gotten into reloading yet. Do you just sweep up the cartridges afterwards and save them?
i grew up reloading with my dad and followed suit. It was a lot cheaper back in the early 80's, but so was ammo. Now days, if you don't plan on loading at least 3-4 different calibers, and in the thousands of rounds, it will take quite a while to see a return. There are other pros though, loads that demand top price, volume of loads you can pump out vs availability of said ammo in certain times, specialty loads and such. But if I were thinking about just getting started (me I'm talking about) I'd rather stockpile what I thought I'd shoot in my lifetime and trade my brass in as I go.Haven't gotten into reloading yet either. How long before you begin saving money. The equipment I've looked at is fairly pricey (over 300 American). Am I looking at the wrong stuff?
Getting started in reloading is easy all you have to do is pull the handle. Really, the hardest part is just getting starting. It's not magical, there is no vodoo involved. You just need to pay attention to what you are doing and follow a few rules and everything will be fine. First either get good reloading manual, such as the Lyman since it seems to be the easiest to use and has a lot of diagrams to follow. Or you can get with experienced and compentent reloader, not JoeBob from down the street that loads for his huntin rifles once a year. There are many good reloaders in the BR area that can teach you the correct way to reload both handgun and rifle ammo. Lanny R. puts on a reloading class that is geared toward the precision rifle shooter but the person wanting to load handgun round will get usefull information from it as well. We can explain the steps to you at the store, depending on how much time we have. If you need information, we can help, give us a call or stop at the store, we are glad to help.
