[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 442552, member: 340"] First off, you're not saving money. Ever. That's just what we tell our wives. -- Even if you get the cheapest components for say, a 9mm, you may make cheaper ammo than you can buy, but you'll also be shooting a lot more. Some of the real reasons to reload are: 1. Making better / more consistent ammo than you can buy. -- That's still doable, but factory ammo just keeps getting better and better. 2. Making something that no one is loading. -- For example, no one is making 22 Creedmoor with a 75 ELDM (that I know of), but I can, and it's awesome. I mostly do it for #2, with a side of #1. Thinking back to my college days, I had neither the money, nor the time to do it. I would recommend waiting until you you're making educated money and are settled into a place of your own. However, if you'd like, PM me, you can come over and I'll show you everything that goes into it. Hint: the last two guys I did that for still aren't reloading... [/QUOTE]
