I'm good for shooters, but may consider stocking up on bullets.

Not surprised to hear this at all, Dan.

It'll be interesting to see how things progress,,,,

Ben,
2500 rounds is hardly enough for the Zombie Apocalypse...

I'd rather stick with common calibers in troubled times.

With the price of metal, ammo has skyrocketed this past year.
Have you considered a Dillon reloading press? I love my RL-550B

Can't say I have advice for you there. I can't even remember back to when I first started reloading.

I live close to Lyman Products and know they have a beginners "Intro to reloading" video.
Also a pretty comprehensive reloading manual....

All presses come with an operating manual, and things are too specific to brand for me to help you there. I think it best to try and find a 'mentor' like Mike to show you the ropes at first.

Keep a detailed log, weigh and measure your handloads accurately, and always watch your cases for signs of deterioration.

Me too. It's bullets I am chasing down. I think that will be the approach they take to circumvent the 2nd anyway.

I'm not sure if you're joking there or not, Ben.

There's no such thing as an acceptable amount of violation of any part of the constitution. It is the supreme law of the land. Period.

Last April I finally decided to join the NRA and you can bet I will be stocking up before Feb. 2009. I just wish I had enough money to buy a BMG for future deer hunting fun

I understand your feeling and I think we kind of broached that in another thread a couple of weeks ago, but we'll have to let it stand at that in the interest of keeping this thread here in GNAC.

That's what the gun control advocates will say. Making you safer.
