Reloaders/hand loaders... Who's doing it?

[RIDE-RED 250r]

I haven't stepped into the wide world of lead boolits as of yet.....

They have a lot of copper coated too... I have come to discover that buying lead from my local Cabelas, is not for the frugal, to say the least!

I'm in... it's painfully tedious, and I have yet to see any cost savings. But you can load what you want, the way you want... so there are benefits in that sense... only been a year and a half or so... I'm still very much learning.

What about primer sealer... Yeah, no...? Lots of factory ammo isn't sealed....?

Processed 500 pieces of 45acp brass today, separated large and small pockets, all ultra sonic cleaned, and drying for tomorrow... Certainly haven't saved any money yet, but sure do enjoy the hobby! Hand loading gets me excited about obsolete and wildcat cartridges!

I have not used primer sealant as of yet.

I cannot speak to it's benefit or lack thereof based on experience. But I have read elsewhere it is something some folks do if they intend to store ammo for extended periods of time, or the ammo is exposed to extreme conditions in the field. If I were to go grizzly hunting in Alaska I would probably use sealant on my primers! LOL!

Thorpe...I got the message from the Mrs. You should be able to contact me now.
