The secondary reason I've NOT started to reload is I realize that's a whole can of worms that takes precise and diligent execution, or you're just wastin time & ducats. One of the local gun shops had an inhouse ammo builder. He also gave instructional seminars. He built me a mess of .41 mag. and regularly had .45, .357, 9mm in 100 round batches for a good price, new brass, good deals. Before I retired I always kept an eye out for ammo, estate & garage sales, guys with cased milsurp and vendor sales. I tried to buy at least monthly. I know you shouldn't buy someone elses reloads, but I have after looking over their workstation and why they rolled their own. One fella was a competition .45 runner, bachelor, with a dedicated clean room for his set up. I got 600 rounds and a 1917 Colt 1911 from him. Another guy got after prairie dogs at distance and was going to a different caliber. I picked up all his .22-250 & dies, his boolits (500) has all the load data on each box of 50 & the date made, new brass. Other than .22lr and the occasional NIB 7mm Mauser & .41mag, I haven't bought bulk since it went crazy with Obummer. PAX
