Reloading is the best way to go if you shoot alot. You can
invest several hundred in equipment, but it will pay for itself
in no time.

Actually, it's realistically several thousand, and it will take quite a
long while to actually make that "pay for itself". Don't get me wrong,
it's a great idea, and I do it myself, but it's not really that much cheaper, especially if you factor in the value of your time.

I'm not sure if I mentioned before it depends on the grade of
ammo you are producing. Match grade/ benchrest ammo will save
you more money than recreating 9mm hardball or 55gr .223 for
plinking.
I used to break even when I reloaded shotshells, then
when I began producing specialty loads such as lig hter recoiling
1oz loads for the 12 ga, it really paid off because I don't know
of many places you can find them.
Regarding hundreds or thousands, it also depends on how far you
go. I don't run a Dillon progressive. My presses are single
stage. If I shot IDPA or steel challenge, I would probably
invest in a larger press than can put out several hundred rounds
an hour. For now, it's smaller batches of ammo for ladder
testing.
I would like to dial in a nice 77gr Vmax load that will
let me reach out to the woodchucks and raccoons at the edge of
the woods.

Ya i remeber someone telling me good things about the dillon

small area to do it in due to my other hobbies hahahah.

Very true, and that wasn't mentioned before... What was said was
"shooting a lot", which probably isn't referencing match-grade ammo.
I used to break even when I reloaded shotshells, then
when I began producing specialty loads such as lig hter recoiling
1oz loads for the 12 ga, it really paid off because I don't know
of many places you can find them.
Yeah, shotshells have always been break-even-at-best, generally
speaking. A 1oz load for a 12 ga doesn't kick enough to even fiddle
with. I generally shoot 1 1/8 oz loads, 3 dram equiv, 1200 fps of #8
(for skeet / sporting clays).
Regarding hundreds or thousands, it also depends on how far you
go. I don't run a Dillon progressive. My presses are single
stage. If I shot IDPA or steel challenge, I would probably
invest in a larger press than can put out several hundred rounds
an hour. For now, it's smaller batches of ammo for ladder
testing.
Ahhh, OK again it was a little confusing because originally you said "if
you shoot a lot". If you're shooting "a lot" of reloaded ammo, one
would assume a progressive. And yes, a Dillon XL650 with all the
trimmings will be several thousand. ;-)
I would like to dial in a nice 77gr Vmax load that will
let me reach out to the woodchucks and raccoons at the edge of
the woods.
A worthy goal there, and not real simple. Also need to have a barrel
with the right spin ratio for those 77's. Good luck!

They don't show it right now, but Acadamy is a good place to
buy in general. I've been ordering 9mm Brass 124 grain for $20
a box!
... Wanted a pair of watch dogs, named the pups Timex and Bulova.That's better than $35 a box, but has far to go to get back to .21 a round or less.

Same here. Always had a small interest in it. Now that I have a .357
lever gun I might start loading some .38's... I'd like to cast my
own bullets too...
Yes, when I bake a pie or cake I like to do it from scratch. :-)

I haven't tried casting yet. The club I belong to has yearly bullet
trap cleanouts, so a source of workable lead alloy is not an issue. I know some who powder coat their cast bullets to reduce barrel fouling.

Very true... I think we're still a ways from those prices again...
