it is damn near impossible to reload FMJ pistol ammo and save any $$... especially considering the startup costs

believe me ive looked into it, im sitting on roughly 1500 rds of once fired brass and a single stage press that was young when browning was in highschool...

the prices ive found put me at roughly $7.50 - $8.50 a box of 50... i can get brand new WWB for $10 a box...

if i factor in costs of Dies, misc tools, a scale, a tumbler, and a bench to do it on, i would spend over $200 just to get the rest of what i need to get started.

for now, i only shoot 9mm so its just as cheap to buy factory new ammo. plus i have all of about 2 square inches of floor space to work with if i start reloading so until i move to a house with either a garage or a basement, i am probably stuck with factory ammo.

IF you're getting WWB for 10 bucks a box, your doing alot better then me. I can't find the stuff for less then 15, and I'm in desperate need of some more brass for my reloading.

I'm a cheapy reloader. My Lee hand press ain't half bad, for the small volume I reload.
