[QUOTE="J.P., post: 2085585, member: 6"] Yeah, it depends on how many rounds you feel comfortable bein' stocked up on, doesn't it? ;) Due to an injury I bowed out for a while some years back.... I had just sold my reloading setup (not a top-o-the-line setup) because having decided to shoot only 9mm it was actually costing me money to relaod with 9mm Blazer at $3.88/50rd. Then as I toyed with the idea of starting back up....ammo disappeared...everywhere....just dried up. Then it quadrupled in price when you could find it, making selling my press seem like the dumbest damn thing since Dianne Feinstein. :bigeye: Honestly tho', I only shot IDPA and with only 2-3 locals a month it's not really enough matches for ammo cost to be a negating factor. The REAL ammo cost factor comes in when you start training....but you benefit more. Going thru' 1500rd a weekend [I]can[/I] get into your budget. (if yer a broke-ass like me) Meh...I've been out of it too long (IDPA) and I seriously need to get back into the game....I'm startin' to miss it. [/QUOTE]
