I got a bunch of 243 brass I've been saving. And 7mm mag I need to get some reloading equipt. also.
I very strongly recommend finding people in your area that have equipment and use the same rounds you do. shareing the costs of bullets,powder, and primers is a big money saver. 3 people working together, 1 to prime 1to powder and one to seat bullets really saves time if your loading plinking ammo. hunting rounds( depending on how anal you wanna be) takes a bit more time

I helped a guy reload some 9mm ball ammo one evening years ago, and we made up like 1200 rounds in an evening. A few weeks later he asked if I wanted to help reload some .25-06 rounds he was making for his hunting trip to Idaho. We started at around 6pm and finished around midnight, and finished with 50 rounds he was happy with. It was like I was working with a totally different person! He was so meticulous with weighing the powder, cleaning the brass, seating the primers, choosing the bullet, etc. that I couldn't believe it. But he wanted to shoot 1-inch or tighter 3-shot groups at 300 yards, and felt he could only do it with "perfect" ammo!
I was in walmart yesterday and went to check out what they had while i was there. Almost nothing. They did have one box of 100 winchester white box .40 S&W so I picked that up for $28. They also had about 20 boxes of 50 count CCI Blazer .40 S&W. No 9mm and no .45 stuff.
This was walmart in Ocala.

Yea for plinking ammo I just slap stuff together. my hunting ammo Im very anal. accuracy comes from the shooter but consistancy in ammo loads severly improves it
