Its easy, but time consuming. Saves you a **** ton of money. Loading 300wm costs me less than 20cents a round. In the store last I saw it was over $1.5 a round. Plus you can make custom ammo, that feeds better and is much much more accurate than store brand. Cost is somewhat high to get into but you can find a good setup for $200 or less on Craig's. Its worth it if you shoot a lot or you want better accuracy/precision.

For sure I watched some vids on YouTube. I already have a nice scale to weigh with would just need the other stuff. Maybe down the line. But a box of .30-06 is like $21. And that's for 20 rounds. So I mean it's not terribly bad but ya .20c sounds Alot better. Something for sure for future stuff

I've saved more casings than I care to admit haha. Some .40 and .45 but 95% is 9mm. I'm just waiting to get my hands on a reloaded. I LOVE shooting and huntin but I'm so busy with school / life / girls that I don't really have time to invest. Hence me selling the Jeep too. Someone should use it :-/

Ck.... I might be persuaded to maybe split the cost of a reloaded or something. I dunno

Thats why I like my crappy old Soviet rifle. $100 for a can of 440 rounds of quality surplus ammuniton, straight from the motherland. Actual good quality 7.62x54 jams up my rifle lol, guess you need crappy ammo for a crappy gun.
lets go shooting out at pawnee sometime after I build the spud gun from hell I have plans for.

7.62X54R FTW!! I love mine...trigger is sh¡t...but thats an easy fix. I reload a lot...and it you are wanting to shoot jaketed rounds...you break about even on 9mm but most everything else your making money reloading...
