TSUSA is a top notch supplier too. Buy in case lots and get free shipping. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After shooting 2500 rounds you will easily have paid for a nice Dillon 750 plus necessary accessories. Go with a less expensive press and the payback will happen even sooner. Even a budget progressive will allow you to load at least 300 rounds an hour. One 8 hour day dedicated to reloading will provide you with at least 2500 rounds of ammunition. Enough to shoot 20 six stage matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 A local shooter brought some Cowboy Choice .38 Special ammo to a practice session. That particular load was short and would not feed in his ‘92. I know they offer other loads, though. We steer folks to Scarlett. If you have a choice consider buying from vendors who support the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Bang and Clang will load in your brass. Save your spent cases and ship them USPS bulk rate when your have 2,000.

Primers aren't really hard to load. Just tedious and time consuming. You can do it with strike any where matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Hsm it's the factory loaded ammo we shoot when I don't have the time to load. It's really close to what I load anyway and I get it by the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
