I reload. Im setup to reload .45, .40, .357/.38, and .308s. I actually enjoy reloading and its alot cheaper than buying it off the shelf.

I reload quite a bit...mostly for my hunting rifles (30-06 AI, 300 RUM, 338 RUM, 243 Win, 416 Rem Mag), but I also reload pistol calibers (45 acp, 40 S&W, 45 LC)...got into it about 15 years ago when I started my collection...

Just 9mm and 40s&w so fare, I just bought a Mini 14 Tactical so I need to get the die set and powder for .223. I also want to load for my Savage .270 to get some real good groups.

I use an RCBS Rockcrusher for the above. I load maybe 2-3000 rounds a month. My brother does more shooting than me and I do his loading too. He is a trapper by trade.

I only do .223 and .308. I took a temporary break from shooting high power, so I haven't touched my reloading stuff in about six months now.
