| I understand the whole "buy factory ammo", but have you checked the prices lately ? I am looking for reloads from companies that can be trusted like Black Hills, Hunting Shack, etc.. Which ones are good ? |
porcher: Regards, to ya! Ammo is getting pricey. Black Hills is the go-to-place for remanufactured ammunition. Quality stuff! But, why not save your brass cases, clean 'em up as best as ya can, and reload them? A single cartridge Lee Loader used to be about $10 and all you would need is a few hundred primers, to start, a box of Speer 55 grainers or your choice, a pound of powder (less than $25 for the powder to load about 400 cases). Time is on your side. Good luck!

and once I had all the details figured out, the doggone things shot just fine!
This made me laugh hysterically!! Spit my diet coke all over my keyboard!!  For the hubby and I reloading is the only way to go. I work at a gun range and he is a LEO. Even with the discounts for me being an employee and his LEO, we still save substantially by reloading our own. It is really not difficult at all. My best advice is if you are just starting read, read, read, and then set your stuff up, load 5 bullets at a time and shoot -- rinse, repeat -- until you get your loads where you want them. Then load to your hearts content. |

Reloads and re manufactured are two different types of ammunition. Reloads are done by someone at home. Re manufactured is done by a business with a license to manufacture ammo. I.E. Re manufactured from a reputable company is the same as brand new ammo. I still would suggest that you pick up a few loading manuals, and the equipment to roll your own. Depending on how you purchase compononets, you can save a fair amount of $$$ over remanufactured or factory new ammo. |
