[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 2139631, member: 14169"] When I started reloading I one revolver and the Lee loader in a box. One round at a time. I was just starting to shoot competitions and that was the only way I could afford to shoot. When I scraped together enough money to by an RCBS Rockchucker I thought I died and went to heaven. By then I was shooting two matches a week, three hundred rounds per match. A lot of hours on a single stage press. Then Dillon hit the market. Before they started selling direct I bought a 450. Now I could load enough to actually practice during the week before the match on the weekend. I know that the only reason that I could afford to shoot those matches was because I reloaded my own ammo. I guess I am a tightwad because I still don't shoot much factory and am far more likely to shoot my reloads. When I finally got around to buying my 300 RUM I couldn't find enough brass to reload so I developed my brass by shooting factory ammo. Other than those four or five boxes of factory, I haven't shot any rifle ammo that I didn't build for over thirty five years. Not always a lot cheaper but usually more accurate and a whole lot more satisfying than the factory ammo. Others have said it and I will concur. There is a special feeling you get when you use your home loaded ammo the kill your game. [/QUOTE]
