School me on reloading Sam

[Thunder71]

I've read the interwebz and need to know what I should buy because I can't find ammo and want to start reloading now, during the shortage, when nothing is available.



Oh, tell me again how reloading help me with shooting my 22LR?

The funny thing...I'm having WAY better luck getting reloading supplies than I am factory ammo

I'm in no hurry...but I see reloading as something I will get in to. Looked at it six or so years ago...factory ammo was cheaper and my kids were more needy. Life changes, now is a good time for me to start looking at it.

I hear ya, I could have bought everything I need to reload 12 gauge last week... but I can buy bulk 12 gauge ammo of the shelf for about the same as I can reload it for (at least for now).

Not so sure about 9mm or 45, and what I really want right now is 22LR which can't be reloaded anyway.

12GA is all I ever see regularly

I used reloading calculators and even with components high right now it is still about a 50% savings on 9mm, .45, and .40. I just don't want to go crazy stocking up and end up barely saving 10% if things settle. For now it's all a timing game on stocked items.

What swayed me is seeing the volume per hour people pump out once they get used to it. Years ago I looked at only component cost and thought time would be too intensive. Wish I had researched more back then.

Im finding primers to be the toughest part.

Primers are tough to find but once you get a supply the rest of the process is easy.
