I'm not sure of how many of you guys out there reload, but IMO if you are serious about preping rolling your own ammo is a must.
I thought I would start a thread and see what kind of interest there was as far as what information you guys would like to see posted, etc.
Let me start off by posting some screen caps I took when I worked up the cost of me loading my own 9mm 124gr JHP.
As you can see, there is a substantial savings over factory ammo. Now, if I were to cast my own bullets from wheel weights...
So let's get this started!
I don't have all the answers, so I'd like if other people contributed the knowledge they had as well.

Good deal!
I already have a press set up for loading my 40. my 9mm press should be on the way in a week or two. Once it gets here, I will post a step by step as I set it up and start loading 'em up!

I will add some info to this thread later. I have a lot of experience reloading 7mm Mag, 30-06 and the like. Learned some neat tricks.

I had PM'd the thread starter about joining here, hopefully he does.
You did and I did, thank you for the invite. I have been snooping since you contacted me. Looks good .
I have been reloading for nearly 25 years and making my own jacketed bullets for nearly 10 years. I have been casting for well over 15 years. Don't know everything but if there is something that I can help with please let me know. I don't think I have shot a factory round in well over a decade.

Awesome thread idea. I have been reloading my own stuff for about two years, but haven't touched my press (or fired a shot sadly) in almost 6 months. I have tomorrow morning off so maybe I'll fire up some .270.
