Considering reloading - worth it?

Short answer, no, you won't save any money.

To get a decent reloading setup your looking at a couple grand, you will lose money reloading 9mm, I buy my plinking ammo for a couple cents less than I can reload it for. 300 blackout, if your willing to convert 223 brass, you'll save a couple bucks per range trip. IMO your 6.5 is the only one worth reloading for, you'll see better accuracy for a better price.

Ultimately, dont get into reloading for the money savings, get into it if you think you'll enjoy it

Not sure where you guys can get less than 15cents a pop for a 124gr 9mm.
I know it's not much of a saving but it's fun to load your own ammo.

On mine, I do save a lot on 6.5CM, 6.5G and 7.62x39. And oh yeah, 300BO.

Just ordered 1k of 124 grain 9mm for 3.25 per box and 30 dollars s&h. After all was said and done i was at 10 cents per round
 
I admitedly don't know squat about reloading, only what I've read on numerous forums, or heard from an old bud that's been reloading for decades.
That said, given the difficulties finding the components ( which have almost zero chance of doing anything but worsening), and the initial cost, and the learning curve, and the relatively minimal financial benefit.......I wouldn't even consider it, at this point.
But that's me. ;)
 
Depends on what you are looking for.

I load about 35 different calibers.

Mostly to tune a load to a rifle or handgun for best accuracy. Hornady,Speer,Barnes, North Fork, Swift, Nosler. Yeah, I will initiate.
Or to make boutique ammo like Safari heavy for caliber stuff to tune to my rifles. Like 430 gr 416 Rigby stuff or 475 Linebaugh.

Also 200 gr 10mm or 170 gr .357Mag. Good luck finding these factory loads.

I do it because I enjoy it, and the process. It’s not always cheaper. Most of my rifles, even the M-1 Garand are shooting clover leafs with hand loads.

9mil,223,308, sometimes 45ACP are much cheaper to buy plinking ammo.

Back to, depending on what ya are wanting to shoot, good luck finding 200 LSWC in 45 ACP or 255 gr LSWC in 45 ACP. in factory loadings. Very reasonable and fun to hand load for.
 
Ok, scoured reddit and people are saying it's a scam site.
This is my 3rd order from them and including this order it's 8k rounds of 9mm, they have delivered 7k rounds and this order was only 1k so im not sure if I trust people saying it's a scam lol, they for sure take forever to ship, but all my orders have been delivered so far
