How many handgunners here reload?

[beerman]

After reading a post below with people warning a guy that wants a Desert Eagle about ammo costs,I thought heck,I never give ammo cost a thought
( because I reload my own) Just wondering,what percentage of my fellow calgunners reload their own ammo? If so,which calibers? heres my reload list:
pistol:
10mm
38/357
9mm
44mag
45 auto
30-30 ( for T/C contender)
Rifle:
30 carbine
30-06
223
45-70
308

My Dad and I reload for every gun we have except for .22lr. Rifle, pistol, and shotgun.

[2nd Shot]

I have a Desert Eagle and getting the dies and components to do .50AE was part of my prep for buying one. I did shoot 60 rounds of factory ammo to start off, but it's probably the only gun I will shoot 100% handloads with from here on out. My other, and most favorite pistol round to reload is 10mm because of all the possibilities and wicked performance to be had. Just added 9mm dies and components to the mix now too.

Is there some way to buy pre loaded ammunition? last time I tried I could not find any and I have been loading ever since

[jonzer77]

If I didn't reload then I wouldn't be able afford to shoot lol. I just started diving into casting but so far I reload
45
9
38 super
30 Carbine
223/5.56
6.8
Eventually when I have enough space I will get a shotgun press.

I reloaded for everything but 22lr and shotguns. 22 is cheap and I don't shoot my shotguns but maybe once a year. I can't imaging paying for factory ammo anymore with the exception of defense rounds.

I reload so the cost of ammunition is never a concern to me, especially for handguns. Even component costs for reloading is minor compared to the other costs involved.

im getting started. just ordered my press from midwayusa n cant wait for the savings and to shoot more often!

I've just started reloading for my Glock in 40, and it's a godsend to my wallet. I can make a 50rd box of full power fmj rounds for just over 8 bucks.
I'm thinking of starting to load for 45, but I don't have dies yet.

[sirgiles]

why even metion about reloading 22lr?

is there a practical way to reform and reprime the case?

The priming compound is inserted wet into the cases, then the cases are spun to distribute the priming compound into the rim. The powder wouldn't be a canister grade powder either. Canister grade means it's available to the public.

there are those who really reload, and there are those who say "they reload".

Yup reload for all my handguns, and just starting to reload for rifle.

[gigante]

Yes I reload all centerfire handgun rounds. 5 different calibers. Rifle rounds too.

I really want to start reloading. Just don't know where to start, or what is needed. I have a few 9mm, a .40 and .44. Seeing the above post about an 8 dollar box of .40. Makes me really want to learn.

So far I only reload 9mm and 38 spl. I'm getting ready to start making 45 next.
