I'm not 'investing' any more money into reloading 9mm.
For the 500 lead rounds per month that I shoot, rinky-dinking around is fine.
I can't BEGIN to load jacketed for what I can buy value pack for.
Even if I could, my time is worth more than $3.00-$4.00 an hour.
A lot more. I could work an extra hour at work, and buy 300 rounds of 9mm winchester value pack.
How many 9mm lead bullets could I reload in that time on two single stage presses?
Is that worth it? NO!
But I need lead to shoot in informal steel plate matches in town.
I shoot (And reload) a LOT more .45 ACP, .45 colt, .357 mag, .41 mag, .44 mag, etc. (Stuff that's worth the effort.)
If I ever get the itch to go full progressive, I may rethink my plan.
I'm gonna start reloading 357SIG soon, I'm NOT shooting lead out of that beautiful sig anytime soon.
Redding dies look very nice, but big money is gonna wait 'till I get full progressive.
Leaning toward the piggyback 3 right now.
Thanks for the info.
Some of that stuff in the dillon/redding catalogs is realllly lookin' good right now.
