Went to dad's today & learned to reload. I'm in.
I ordered my Lee set-up today.

In the coming days/weeks, I will be annoying some of you veteran reloaders with questions.

I've bookmarked all of the sites posted. Thanks so much for the info.

I'll probably buy primers & powder at gun shows like Dad does.
I may see if he wants to split bullet orders with me in the future to save on shipping. Compared to the businesses that some of you posted, Midsouth is expensive. I'm not sure if Dad is aware of that. (He tends to do business where he's familiar with the operation.)

Greg, I bookmarked Midway.
KRM, where did you get 1000 for $65?

I'm looking for a bit of knowledge from some of you that reload for the benefit of savings.

I'll be visiting my dad tomorrow to learn to use and test out my skills on his reloading equipment. If I decide to do this, I will be doing this primarily for savings.

Daddy told me to only order .45 bullets, .45 carbide dies, and a shellholder, as he has everything else there. He uses Midsouth, and gave me the product numbers, so I ordered what I needed.

When I received the package today, I was reviewing the cost, and thought it was rather high. I paid $37.53 for 250 .45 acp bullets. That's more than .15 per round, not including shipping. (I looked at the cost of primers, and they're only $.03 per round w/o shipping. Dad recommend I make primer & powder purchases at shops or gun shows to avoid haz mat fees.) The cost of powder & primers isn't too bad.
I did check the prices at Midway, even though they appear to be out of stock in many items. Their prices are a bit less.
Is there some bargain bullet shop that I don't know about?
Longtooth, I remember you posting within the last year that you were reloading for $.07. (I could be wrong.. just tell me if I am.)
I will likely be leaving my job within the next year or so, and I'm trying to arrange life so that I can continue current hobbies for as little money possible.

Any info will be appreciated.
