[QUOTE="Dr_Mitch, post: 1558312, member: 7417"] A couple of years ago, I went in on a reloading press with my brother. We bought a Dillon 550, Dillon's D-Terminator scale (not cheap), a set of dies in addition to the set the press comes with, a primer flip tray, and bullets/powder/primers (we already had brass). The total cost was $850 for the press and accessories and shipping. We figured we'd only have to make 2K rounds for the press to pay for itself. That is not many rounds. The more you make, the more you save on a reloaded versus purchased basis. I have my own press now, and I wouldn't go back. The up-front cost on supplies is more than a couple or several boxes of bullets. Say 9mm, $76 per thousand projectiles from Precision Delta shipped to your door, primers at $35 per thousand, a thousand brass from Rick at $30, and a 1lbs jug of Titegroup at roughly $20. That's $161 for 1000 rounds of 9mm. The only thing you give up is time. [/QUOTE]
