[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 838974, member: 423"] Unless you are [B][I][U]SERIOUSLY[/U][/I][/B] mechanically challenged, reloading should not be an issue. If budget is an issue, you can get into the Lee Turret Kit like [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=622290"]this[/URL], for $110 that includes everything but dies (caliber specific), shell plates (also caliber specific), and the reloading components (cases, bullets, powder and primers). All of which are far more available than large quantities of .45 acp ammo. To buy a thousand rounds of .45 acp loaded, you're looking at $350+ (best I can tell in a few moments of searching). For the reloading setup, $110 - Lee Press $37 - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=242098"]Lee Carbide Die[/URL] set w/ shell plate $144 - 1000ct [URL="https://secure3.mooseweb.com/montanagoldbullet.com/pricelist.tpl"]Montana Gold[/URL] 185gr JHP bullets $65 - 1000ct fired brass from [URL="http://www.grafs.com/product/266121"]Grafs[/URL] $16 - 1 lb Bullseye powder (you wouldn't have to use this one, just a possibility) $30 - 1000ct CCI Large Pistol Primers ~$400, and then you've got the press, dies, and 1000 pieces of .45 brass that can be reused ~2-3 more times. So the next 1k rounds should cost you less than $200. Try beating THAT for loaded ammunition! [/QUOTE]
