1960's is young ammo.

Nothing like shooting ammo from the 30's. Even watched a guy shoot some 8mm rounds that had a nifty little headstamp from the mid 30's and one of those funny Nazi eagles.

I just got my shipping notice for 5K rounds of CCI 22lr Standard Velocity. That should get me till September!

I also have a shipment of Freedom Munitions on a truck heading to the house. 9mm and 223.

How much? Never too much. I know there are a lot of folks who shoot more than I do, on a max month, wife, son and I shoot with Pistoleros : 500 rds in one a.m., steels; 600 rds in another a.m., once Fred's steel challenge gets going, another 250 rds per week, and if we get into three gun, I'll have to get another job just to buy bullets! So if all three of us compete in a month in the three series we are interested in we'll shoot around 2,000 rds a month, granted we do as much steels in .22 as we can, to keep the costs down, while getting quality range time.

Bullets don't really stand much of a chance at the Dubi house.

Lexofer,

That is a ton of ammo. How much time per week do you spend reloading? I'd love to see some pics of your set up. I've only been reloading for about a year, but I already enjoy it just as much as I enjoy shooting. Currently I only reload .223 and .308 rounds, so I'm on a single stage.

All I need now is to get the Benelli M2 I've been saving up for and I can try out 3-gun. With two toddlers at home though, I won't be using near that much ammo. Just not enough hours in the day.

I don't spend but 1-2 hours a week reloading including all brass inspection and preparation. I've got a Dillon 650 with case feeder. Have the Dillon trimmer for it really quick to resize, deprime, and trim rifle brass in one pass. Another toolhead to load the rifle brass.

If you want to try 3-Gun you're more than welcome to use my M2 if I'm going to be at the match.

Here's a view of my reloading room from a few months ago. I've cleaned it up a bit since but I've got quite a few major matches coming up so it will probably be neglected again. Check out the thread on the Brian Enos forum of reloading rooms if you want to see some sick setups of people that have multiple 1050's and are a lot more organized than myself.

Your calendars on the left are woefully out of date. I cant think of any reason to hang on to those.

Felt like i needed to show my reloading bench since lexofer did. I built this in my master closet a while back. Everything but the Hornady LNL is modular and can be moved to multiple positions on the bench. Makes life nice when I dont need the single stage press or trimmer, etc out.

Nice schmellba! I'd just love to see my wife's reaction if I proposed doing that to our closet! My setup is in the garage. I'll have to post a picture of it.

How do you like the LNL and the RCBS auto dispenser?

Lex,

That Dillon is nice, but man they are pricey! Cool man cave. Wish you guys lived on my street!

Love the LnL AP. I found it much easier to work with than the Dillons, and when I bought mine I also got 1k free projos.

The Chargemaster is awesome as well, though it's a little slow. I've contemplated buying another so that I can run 2 at a time, but I don't load enough with it to really justify it. I'd much rather add a Giraud to the bench instead.

Now, I do need to get another tumbler. I have made that decision.
