've been at it about 4 months now. I went through the normal fear of spending too much money up front thing. Discussions with reloaders and reading the forum convinced me to not go cheap right out of the box. Other endeavors in which I engage all feature an attempt by me to minimize startup costs. Problem was when I got further into an endeavor I ended up spending far more than if I did it right the first time.

For reloading I sucked it up and saved for a little longer and got exactly what I needed. Did I save money over storebought ammo? No, because I shoot 3 to 4 times as much. The payoff is dramatically increased proficiency with my 1911 .45ACP. I also have another therapy. . . . . reloading! It is second only to shooting.

Get what you need the first time
