Anybody reload their own ammo?

The Dillion is expensive to tool up for several different rounds. Mind loads .38/.357 and .44 mag/Special.
I have 2 Lee 1000's and a Lee Load All. They work well except for that stupid chain. There is a guy on youtube that uses a coat hanger wire to get rid of the chain. I just have done it yet. I've loaded .380, 9mm, .38, .40, and .44 mag, .45 parabellum and .45 Colt with them. Shell plates are fairly cheap for the Lees.
The Dillion is the better machine. Mines the 550B should I need to load for rifles. If all I wanted to load was pistol, I would buy the Square Deal B.
I pull lead weights off cars out at pick a part. They never charge me for them, so lead can be free. Watch some youtube videos about lead weights, because some look like lead but they are zinc. The steel ones are easy to sepearte. Most stick ons are pure lead and can be mixed with the wheel weights, which is why you need a hardness checker. You may need to buy some tin to mix in to help the lead flow into the molds when pouring. The Lee molds work pretty good for making bullets. Lots of youtube videos to help figure that out. The Lee hardness checker works OK for checking hardness. I buy powder from Wideners and 10ring.com. I'm lucky I stocked up before obama got reelected. I have a bunch of primers too. The Lee dies will work in all the machines and are cheap. Get the carbide ones unless you feel the need to lube your cases to load with steel dies. You can get a ton of formulas on youtube for making your own bullet lube. It is a PITA, but it sure can save you some money.
