Back in the late 70s, 80s and early 90s everyone I paled...palled?..hungout with, reloaded and cast their own bullets. The local gun stores stocked molds lead pots and everything else you needed to make your own ammo. Twenty years later, I know one person who casts his own bullets and none of the stores stock casting equipment. Back in the old days all the cops I knew were enthusiasts, I don't think that's the case anymore.

While I love seeing all the gun nuts (enthusiasts?) in here and not having anything against factory ammo, (except for rimfires, I don't think I own any) I really appreciate the reloaders and bullet casters on this forum and others.

Oh yeah, there is an unbelievable amount of knowledge in these forums, I've learned a lot.

I guess its too late to make a long story short. My point is that anyone that has a modicum of interest in reloading should do it.
