Talk to me about reloading....
Many years ago (1995-1997), I reloaded a ton of handgun ammunition using a Dillon Square Deal progressive press. I haven't reloaded since, and all my stuff is gone. Given the current climate, I'm toying with the idea of doing it again.
I can't imagine shooting more than 800-1000 rounds a month of various pistol and rifle calibers (actually, I can...I'm just being realistic), but I'd definitely want to stick to something progressive. Thoughts?

Progressive? Can't comment on it. Still rolling em one at a time on a RCBS Rockchucker and 5-0-5 scale that's been with me since 16. Don't burn hundreds and hundreds .338 & '06 rounds in a year though and I find the bulk pistol calibers pretty reasonable for just chucking stuff down range.......

Called a neighbor who is a gunsmith, and hasn't bought a 'made' round (his words) in over 10 years, loads all his own, uses a Dillon, and said you should do the same.
He even said Just sayin'....................... My kind of feller.

Man, I've drooled over a Dillon Blue Press longer than I care to admit.
I was in the best sporting good store in Richmond today.. Green Top. I also went into Bass Pro Shops. I saw 4 boxes of 44 mag, and 1 box of 454. Thanks Obama.

When I was at the shop earlier this week, they had around 7 boxes of ammo; two boxes of .308 (which I bought), two boxes of .17, some oddball Russian stuff, and (bizarrely) one box of .357 Sig.
I haven't seen a box of .22 in the wild in over a month.

I probably should look into doing some 30-30 as a starting point.

I made sure to stock up on .22LR last summer. Found a few deals that yielded over 4000 rounds.

I've been thinking about reloading myself.
How many times can you reload the same brass? I'm talking mostly .45 and EBG ammo
