Hello!
My brother in law and I do quite a bit of shooting, and we were talking the other night about reloading our own ammo for the range. I'd like to get some insight on this. We both mainly shoot 9mm and .40 on most of our trips to the range. Occasionaly a .223 Rem, and a 30-30, but we'd shoot those more often if we did our own reloading. Mainly more on 9 and .40. We are both willing to split the costs of reloading equipment, such as the press, dyes, powder, primers, and bullets. Is this cost effective? Or best to just stick with store-bought range ammo?
Plus, we both do not have any experience with reloading. We both want to learn, just want to make sure its worth it in the long run and cost effective per box vs store bought range ammo. I found a couple books at Bass Pro this morning while picking up some self-defense ammo and some G96 gun cleaner this morning.
I need to go clean my .40 now, it's pretty dirty from yesterday. Tomorrow both of us are helping my folks at their business and OC'ing, even to lunch too at Wendy's! Then off to the National Forest for some hiking and shooting!
Have a safe weekend!
