Thanks uncyboo! Nice and clear!

Well, I have had difficulty finding brass that is not rifle calibre, to get .44 or .38 brass, I will probably have to buy some factory rounds.

So for every 100 rounds shot, the first hundred will probably be factory rounds that I can then reload, say, a further 9 times.

I had not taken this into account. But then, if i weren't to reload, I'd have to buy those rounds anyway!

Luckily, it seems many reloaders feel that .44 mag and .38 Spl cases can be reloaded ad infinitum (within reason), so perhaps say 500 factory loaded rounds would then provide me with brass for the forseeable future!
