Yea I’m way late to the party. I have plenty of ammo now. Just wondering if I should learn to reload.I would take a trip to Shelbyville and talk to Kimball at Bobcat Armament. Your picking a real bad time to start looking. Components dry up faster than ammo, so if you get to the point you cant find ammo, and decide to reload, your basically to late to reload.
You absolutely should learn. Personally I save no money reloading, but I get better ammo, and enjoy it. Now is just not the time. Give it a couple years, and jump in with both feet.Yea I’m way late to the party. I have plenty of ammo now. Just wondering if I should learn to reload.
Definitely. I enjoy it for one. You'll learn a lot about guns/projectiles. Pick up a good manual or three and do some studying. Lyman makes a great manual. Might have to have some patience on availability.Yea I’m way late to the party. I have plenty of ammo now. Just wondering if I should learn to reload.
Thanks. Yea hopefully things will calm down and I can get into the setup for a reasonable price.Definitely. I enjoy it for one. You'll learn a lot about guns/projectiles.

I've never ran into that before, but I've never thought to ask either.Thanks. Yea hopefully things will calm down and I can get into the setup for a reasonable price.
The one range I’ve been to said they don’t allow reloaded ammo. Is that normal?
I think I noticed a sign somewhere or it was on the paperwork for the first range visit.I've never ran into that before, but I've never thought to ask either.

My last bullet order was for 3k 115gr RMR bullets at 7.79 cents a piece. I was saving a nickle for each 9mm since I no longer consider brass in my figures as I got 16gal containers full.This is true, I probably am saving money now, but in my mind 9mm is still 20 cents, and 556 is still 30 cents.
As others have said, it isn't a great time to start, but it is a great time to learn. Dive in to these forums, a couple manuals, and youtube. Lots to soak up and also help you decide if you will enjoy the process.
I mildly disagree with this statement.You absolutely should learn. Personally I save no money reloading, but I get better ammo, and enjoy it. Now is just not the time. Give it a couple years, and jump in with both feet.
