Hey all. Long time off and on member of Northwest and Southwest Firearms forums. Life gets crazy and i shut off online comms for a while sometimes, sorry.
Had a question though that answers to may help others as well. I've searched other forums and this one and can't seem to find much more recrnt info than early 2018.
I'm finally in a place after over a year where i can set up my reloading station and start learning and reloading. I'm looking for what components (brass, i only care about what you avoid. But bullets, powder and primers i know enough to know how much i don't know about what to get, if ya follow me) ya'll use, and what pricing (general) ya'll see.
I'm building a spreadsheet of common brands and types i buy of factory ammo, stores i've bought from, and pricing for each caliber i shoot, and wanting to compare that with an idea of reloaded costs for each caliber depending what components ya'll fine folks might recommend.
I have a Hornady LnL i bought from a fella on NorthwestFirearms, and a Lee single stage i picked up local here in Tucson. I have dies so far for some of my calibers, but not all.
Calibers i shoot that i might reload for:
.380 (yes, if it's significantly less expensive, i will reload for it. I believe in practicing extensively with a carry gun, even if it's a BUG)
9mm, .38spl, .357, .40, .45acp, .45colt, 7.62x38R, 5.56, .300blk, .30-30, .6.5CM, 7.5x55swiss, 7.62x54R and .30-06.
The rimfire of course, and 7.62x39 i won't bother.
I know i don't post much, but wanna make sure I say I appreciate ya'll. Not just for helping me, but for helping all the folks you'll never know read your info and benefit from it
