Yeah, I'm not one to go through thousands of rounds a month but I would expect to hit the range once or twice a month. I would also like to be able to run something hotter when using the gun as a backup in the woods or for clearing pigs off the property. I've never reloaded before but it sounds like I can get started for the price of what a couple hundred rounds would cost me at the store. Any interested in taking on a protoģe?
