As you may know, I'm into guns and shooting. For the last year I've also been into reloading - this is my gun room with a Hornady Ammo Plant with auto casing and auto bullet feeders - it will deprime and resize, load new primer, charge with powder, check powder with lockout die, set a bullet on the casing, and shove the bullet in, crimp, and kick out into the tray a finished 9mm round about every 3 seconds. With restocking the various components, loading primer tubes etc, I can load about 500 rounds per hour.

Also have a separate Hornady AP Lock-N-Load progressive press for .223.

All of this stuff gets yanked out this week. I built it in my indoor gun range and it just grew and grew until I can no longer shoot in there. So, I decided I'd rather shoot than load so it gets uninstalled this week.

Heading to Vegas for SHOT Show Tuesday...I'm excited and thinking about guns today.

Yeah I have about 10 cents each in 9mm ball ammo and 12 cents for jacketed hollow points, and about 16 cents in .223. Sometimes I trade for large amounts of brass and can get a good deal.

I don't load for profit but at one point during the recent shortage, 9mm were going for $1 each , if you could find them.

Nice layout. I have two lee Progressive presses, and two C-style. I may also get a Lee Classic that gives me more control, good speed, and ability to do single loads.

Jerry, price varies, but 50 rds. of 9mm handloads cost about $5.50. I haven't figured 5.56 yet.

Hi Tim what is the price difference between reloads and store bought rounds that are comparable,and what do you use to stop your bullets?
