| Well I bit the bullet today so to speak. I just order ever thing I need to start reloading. My son (Kimber PB) has been doing it for some time now and I been just putting it off. So Uncle Sam gave me some money and I just did it. Got every thing I need to start loading 45cal and 40cal. I will add 9mm and 223 later and maybe others. I got the LEE Classic press kit, two turrets, 4 piece die kits for 45cal and 40cal, bullet puller, tumbler with media and polish, 1lb of accurate #2 powder, and 200 rounds of 40cal for $417.00. The only thing I need now is primers.

| Enjoy your new hobby. I have been reloading for more years than I care to admit. It does not save you any money...you just get to shoot more. |

| Right on. I just ordered a Dillon 550 with my tax return. Should be here anyday. Got her in .45acp and .223

| Congratulations to both of you on your new hobby. Once you start reloading rifle cartridges, these things pay for themselves very fast.

| You'll love that 550. Mine is set up with 9mm, 45ACP and .308. I disagree with statements about not saving money. You may shoot a little more than you normally would, but you are saving up to 75% on practice rounds. We don't shoot any more after reloading than we did before. It just costs us a lot less now. If you count your time into the equation, then maybe you aren't saving money. I don't. I seem to have more time than money lately, so spending a few hours in the garage reloading isn't keeping me from anything more productive.

| Crap! No more free brass for me now! ![]() Oh and by the way uncle sam didn't give you money. He was just returning "Some" that he'd already taken.

| +1. It is funny how the government gives us back a little of our money they have stolen from us. Anyway congrats to Kimber RB on your new hobby/pass time.

| Tax returns come from our interest free savings accounts. Congrats on the new equipment, guys. I plan on getting a .308 set up for my 550.

| Scrounge it at the range like I do. I have buckets of it here. Typically I come out ahead with brass after a range session. Quote:
