Just got back from Academy on Edgebrook. They are selling these Monarchs which are in green boxes for $5.86 / 50 9mms. It's no $4.86, but it's better than $7.17 a box. They are brass ammo so they are reloadable.

The Academy in League City is asking over $7.00 a box as of last week. I could not believe it and had another employee scan the box. I was still in denial so I stopped by later that day after the employees had changed shifts and confirmed the rise in price I guess it varies from region to region. I was having a hard time justifying buying reloading equipment because I almost exclusively shoot 9mm.....I am starting to reconsider.

Ouch!

That's a huge price hike! I guess I won't be buying anything from there anymore because ammos and DVDs are all I've been buying. I can buy DVDs cheaper online.

OverEasy. I've currently purchased a Dillon XL650, and I'm very impressed with the built quality. I haven't put it to good use yet because I don't have any powder, primers or bullets yet to set all the dies in. This will be my main generator of .45ACPs.

I've also invested in a Lee 4 Turret Press and am surprised at how easy the installation was. The only thing I didn't like was spending $16 on nuts and bolts to put the thing on my bench. Other than that, it's a cheap press that can be had for under $80. Die sets are another $30, and you can also buy extra turrets so you don't have to undo the dies each time you change calibers. This press will be doing the remainder of all others I shoot (9mm, .223, .308, etc...)
