Ok, so I don't get to shoot near enough as I'd like to. I'm interested in reloading because of the cost difference.
I plan on doing this for 9mm now and .45 in the future, but that could change.
I plan on casting my own bullets if I can source enough wheel weights.
I've done a little research and I have found I will need the following:
Lee Pro 1000 progressive Press---------------------$170
RCBS Hand priming tool-------------------------------$40
RCBS Primer Brush pocket tool----------------------$14
electric caliper-------------------------------------------$25
bullet casting
Lee Pro 4 20lb. Furnace 110volt--------------------$65
Lee Lead dipper----------------------------------------$4
Lee 6 cavity bullet mold-------------------------------$40
muffin pan(ingot mold)--------------------------------$free
RCBS Lube-a-matic-----------------------------------$153
Am I missing anything?
Also Is there anywhere cheaper in the okc area where I can get primers and powder for less than on MidwayUsa?
Midway Prices
Alliant Bullseye powder 8lbs.-------------------------$147 after hazmat and shipping fee.
Winchester small pistol primers(5000)--------------$180 after hazmat and shipping fee.
Does anybody have any suggestions
According to this handload calculator, using 5gr of powder per round the total should be around $2.50/box of 50 assuming I cast my own bullets and already have brass.
