I recently got a 6" GP100. The best thing about it, I can shoot this thing all day at the range. Unfortunately that's also the worst thing, given the cost of ammo. Even with cheapo 38spl, some days I still end up shooting enough to dent my wallet.
I've done a fair amount of reading, talking and watching (youtube) and feel a hand press might be a good solution for me.
Pros:
* inexpensive
* portable - I recently joined a very nice out door range
* social - can reload in the living room while wife is watching TV etc.
Cons:
* slow production rate
* maybe not premium quality/consistency?
Seems like a nice set of dies, misc. tools and this press would get my going for ~$100. Of course I'd need to buy powder and bullets.
Also, with a revolver it would seem cleaning brass is less important, as I don't let it hit the ground after firing.
Thoughts?
Thanks
