I started saving up brass of different calipers from factory ammo some time ago. That way when I get a new set of dies I already have the brass. I mostly shoot 308, 223 and 45. 45 and 223 are everywhere at PSC so I have way more brass than Ill ever need but I am still OCD about picking up every one I shoot haha 308 isn't as common but I have saved up factory ammo brass for years and I never shoot hundreds in a day so it's a non issue.

Agree completely. I use a Lee turret. I may not be as productive as Charles but I have fun. Cost efficient-not so much. 9mm is so cheap now that it is not really that cost efficient. And I do have to pick up the brass- ouch.

Yeah I'm not sure I would be able to justify 9mm even using the numbers Charles posted but then again I don't own anything in 9mm. I have thousands of pieces of 9mm brass though in case I ever decide to!

Looking forward to the episode! I still only use a hand press from Lee but the biggest slow down is my diligence/paranoia and OCD in wanting everything to be uniform - OAL, exact powder charges, crimp, etc.

But it's very rewarding, cost efficient and most importantly fun.
