Yep...+1 on this! I use this method and I really like it.

I think I'll just start with a torch and drop them in a bucket of water...maybe even throw on my brazing tip on my oxy acetylene setup and give that a go...every time I turn around you people are wanting me to buy something new. LOL, Heck when i first decided to start reloading i wanted to do it to save money on ammo. Then i got some equipment, then I read up on how to reload, then I had to get some more stuff, then I read some more and bought some more...I guess the moral of the story is literacy is expensive as he'll

I used the lead pot last time. Worked nice but you gotta read up on the method first.

You will ,IMO, never save a cent reloading, you'll just shoot a lot more and know a lot more what is taking place.

Oh yeah I figured that out real quick. I think at this point I've got about $5/round invested...of course that number goes down the more I load but I havent got there yet.

Trust me you will

Truer words were never spoken! Guns and shooting is expensive. Handloading for your guns and really "getting to know them" can be MORE expensive.

Some of these guys get pretty hardcore with loading for maximum accuracy. My setup is fairly basic except for the chargemaster. There's no freaking way I'd pay $1.50 a round for factory stuff with basic bullets. I can load better bullets and use new brass every time and still come in under that. I can't believe anyone would pay $18 for 20 rounds of 223 soft point. At least that's what the store charges here.

I ran the numbers one day, without the cost of all the equipment and yes I can get way below store prices, and the more life I get out of cases the lower the cost. It's just getting all the equipment that's painful.
