Is it even worth trying to start reloading now?

I just picked up 1000 55 grain fmj bullets two days ago for 100 bucks, now I gots to find some more primers. Anyone have luck with wolf brand magnum primers? Never used them, we have been using the cci 400 and have good luck with them.

Wolf magnum work very well in the AR platform. They have the hard cup to prevent slam fire. Enjoy. Wolf and Tula are the same thing.

I just bought 1000 br 400 primers at specialty sports in the springs for 5.49 a box limit 500 per person. Then tonight while grocery shopping at Walmart, I wandered back to the sporting goods and saw a clearance shelf, so I went to look and there was a 1000 count box of cci 400's for 3.97 a box, no limit apparently so I bought those to. This is turning into an expensive little hobby.

Agreed, I have my pistol bullets for now, but the primers are a little expensive. I'm getting them at $39/1k which seems good, especially since my LGS has them in stock all the time. Granted, midway sells them at $30/1k which I guess including hazmat and shipping taking it up to around $35-37 per 1k.

Finding the dies you want though is getting harder, but I luckily just snagged a set of lee carbide .38spl and .45acp dies for $40 for both shipped. Pretty good deal in my opinion. Now, all I have to do is buy a 45acp pistol and I'll be set lol.

So you paid $5.49 per K or $5.49 per 100 ? If you paid $5.49 per K you got a smoking deal. If you paid $5.49 per 100 and purchased 1K you got taken.
