Been loading over 30 years, casting for the last couple. I'm a confirmed bachelor (most years

) so I do what I want. I'm deep into four figures just considering dies, presses, benches, scales, moulds, pots and measuring equipment. Then there's the 18X21 casting/case cleaning workshop I'm building.

These days I figure each new cartridge I load for costs me about $300 to get set up, including a small supply of brass, dies, moulds, shell holder, sizing dies and custom flaring tools (as necessary).
Costs a lot of money to save a few bucks on ammo!
