    I am an Addict

    Hi I am Steven and I am an addicted of reloading and shooting. Don't they say admitting there is a problem is the first step, not that I plan to change. I have been reloading a year now and have learned a lot from this great group of people. I made the mistake earlier of adding up what I spent in 2018 on reloading supplies and equipment and lets just say I am NOT sharing those figures with the wife, although she is the one who bought me the first press that started this addiction. Also Wes like everything else makes it easy to add up in your order history.

    A very sincere Thank you to Wes, his crew and everyone else here that makes this such a great group

    That’s the crazy thing. I was one of those who thought this will save money.

    I think I knew it wouldn't save money.... but I've always been fascinated by reloading.... and now I buy much more than I reload.

    I knew from the get go it wouldn’t save me money. And that’s the first thing everyone asks me and I say no. But it gives me more reason to go out and shoot and want to shoot. Shooting factory rounds is boring and if I never started I probably would only take my guns out a few times a year.

    I shoot more since I load my own. I like to work on making rounds the best they can be for my guns. I can’t imagine shooting factory rounds lol.

    Lmao also you just spend a lot more on reloading equipment. I have no idea how much factory ammo I could have bout with my cheap setup. Probably 3-4K 223 lol. I have friends that could have bought more like 20-25k 223 rounds with how much they have spent on reloading equipment. So yeah you don’t save any money lol.

    I like the ammo calculator on Dillons site...... it tells you how long it takes to pay for your press.
