[QUOTE="tvarden, post: 1858835, member: 29275"] A few years back I was in the same place as you. I ended up with a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Kit and a Lee 50 Classic 50BMG kit. I shoot a lot of 9mm, 45acp, and 223/5.56 for fun and work, however I have just bought or been supplied commercial as not having the time to reload and not needing better then factory accuracy with it. My 308, 338 Lapua Mag, and 50BMG are a different story. I hunt with the 308 and 338 and need/want sub moa. Also it is cheaper to reload those and my 50 if i pay attention and grab stuff on sale. Also when I see 9, 45, 223, 300blk components go on sale I grab them and just put them in the corner (along with the primers and powder need for them) as you will learn those do disappear and become hard / impossible to find at times. So with this shortage going on and me being home the last few days I thought well might as well load up some ammo. I will tell you I love my Rock Chucker for my bigger rifle rounds that I load 100 rounds a sitting. However loading 500 300blk and 500 9mm the last few days is a beating!!!! So you really need to know what you want to reload. 100 rounds rifle rounds that touch at 200-300 yards (Rock Chucker with Redding Type S-Match Die Set all daylong), 500 to 1000 blaze it down ammo start looking at a Dillion.. I see one in my future to go along with the stuff in the corner.. * Side Note all these new loads I have been doing have load numbers that start with covid19 😊 [/QUOTE]
