doc540 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The majority of my shooting friends have been telling me to reload. So, yesterday a local classified appeared: "Dillion Square Deal B in good condition set up to load 9mm and .45ACP, all accessories, tools, manual. $200." After a quick search regarding quality and service, I bought it and picked it up last night. A good friend and my local FFL contact reloads and said he'd coach me to get started. I'll try to keep my mouth shut here and read everything I can. My goals in no order of priority: 1. enjoy the hobby, spend time at my bench 2. shoot more often by building ammo inventory 3. shoot more accurately and consistently Thanks to the Forum for all the info.

harperjmichael Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Now I have to start scouring the web to find a deal like that! Great catch. So what's the typical savings over store bought loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger10k Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 For me, I estimate it costs me a little under half of what store bought loads would be. That's with FMJ. (In 40 s&w). In other words, well worth it. Now I have to start scouring the web to find a deal like that! Great catch. So what's the typical savings over store bought loads?
