I am in poverty to-day thanks to reloading. I began many many years ago reloading 12 ga. shells that I had shot on the kitchen table, with a Lee "hand loader" I don't think that they make them anymore.

Fast forward to to-day, I'm re-loading .410 shotgun shells, .303 ammo for my WW1 Ross rifle, 7.62 x 39 ammo for my friend's bolt action, I have a 1/2 ton load of equipment and partial boxes of bullets, what else, more powder that I'll ever use.

POVERTY, that what you are headed for!

I should admit that I'm a pretty good shot and I wasn't when I started, I kill about 50 pheasants per year (I'm slowing down in my old age) with the .410 and I have a long range shooting range off my back porch so I guess it is a hobby.

On drug addiction is easier to quit.

Buy good stuff used, there is lots of it around, I still have my balance scale (over 50 years old now) and it works as well as ever.

Oh, and the advice you'll get on this site is peerless.
