I believe that I have seen this commercial a few years back. No wait, that commercial was for another addiction.

Thanks all for your helpful information.

I have been paying around 9 - 13 box of 50. I buy in bulk online. Someone posted a website on this forum that gives daily prices and I will generally go with that.

Well even if I just break even it will give me an excuse not to spend my winter weekends doing one of my wife's great ideas. Last year it was ripping out the carpet in the house and putting in wood floors. Reloading has got to be easier on the back than that.

Thanks for your replies.

First off I apologize if this has been covered already, but thought I would ask the experts here for a bit of advice. I shoot 800 - 1000 rounds of 40 S&W and .380 a month. Sometimes I will take a .32 with me to keep the cobwebs from getting too thick. I am thinking of getting into reloading (again) and was thinking about using a Dillon. I have about $1000 that I can spend on the equipment and was hoping to get dies for all 3 calibers. I have looked online and read in forums about the best priced dealers for brass, powder, bullets and I am getting a major headache. Can someone give me an estimate, considering the amount I shoot and the calibers, of when I might break even on my investment?
Like I mentioned I used to reload several years ago and remember really enjoying it. With football season almost over and before the wife comes up with a list of home improvements I would like to start this again.
I appreciate any help.
