I've been reloading since I was kid with my father. Probably close to 20 years now. You don't save money, just the opposite. You shoot a lot more and end up spending the same or more lol.

Only if you have the supplies handy.I figure it's a good skill to have just incase things go belly up anyways, right?
I've been known to roll a few of my own.....
26 different chamberings, 5 wildcats, no less than 80 pounds of powder and 10,000 primers available to support my habit.
Why is Red Dot hard to get? Granted I've been away from things for a bit, but when I was reloading, RD was a very popular shot shell powder.Man, and I was just thrilled to find some Red Dot the other day! What kind of Wildcats are you running? Any big bores?

I ran 100's of pounds of Hi Skor 700X through a Ponsness Warren progressive 12 gauge loader that I converted to hydraulic. I could drop a loaded trap shell every 5 seconds once it was loaded and cycled. We used to buy 20,000 primers at a time, a ton of shot at a time and cases upon cases of wads. My shooting buddy and I would split the orders since we loaded similar loads. Then again, I was shooting 10-30 rounds of trap a week. Then on the weekends we would go to money shoots on Saturday night so it doesn't take long to burn up some shells.
Before my sister decided she needed my guns more than I did, I used to reload .220 Swift, .30-.30, 357 Herrett, and .270 Winchester. 2 rifle rounds and 2 pistol rounds. Pistols being Thompson Center Contenders with Super 16" barrels and Burris LER Scopes.
