Sounds like a nice setup. I use a Dillon XL 650 and these progressive presses are great, high quality ammo and high volume speed. Lots of fun too.
Somebody want to explain the digs about someones mistakes I keep seeing?
Did somebody make something go BOOM?

Congrats! Now you've got another expensive hobby

Don't expect to save a lot of money, but I bet it allows you to shoot more.

Like you, I started out with 9mm, and now have lots of supplies for 9mm, .45, .223, and .308.

When I'm not shooting, reloading keeps me busy!

Bet you'll be the same soon. Enjoy it!

I got into reloading not so much for cost savings as its the only way I can get ammo for my wildcat cartridges. I have always liked obscure things and wildcats fit that mold well and are some of my favorite calibers to shoot. I currently load 357 Supermag, 375 Supermag, 445 Supermag, and soon adding 414 Supermag. I also load 32-20, not a wildcat but not super popular either. Also do 41 mag as none of the stores around me ever carries ammo in stock and I love shooting 41. I also load the run of the mill stuff like 380, 9mm, 357mag, 10mm/40S&W and 44mag. Soon adding 223 as well.
Its a fun way to spend winter evenings in the loading room.

Good Job Ed, now you need to Learn how to hoard bullets, and brass. Yes, sometimes it can be expensive. But it will let you work up your own load for your guns. Remember these words, Read The Instruction Manual, Measure everything until you get it down pretty good. Then just measure every couple rounds.

Thanks , I have over 1,500 pieces of brass and 200-300 115 gr round nose bullets thanks to my COTEP brothers. 300 primers.

Lacking in the powder but will get some soon, I'm going with a 148gr molly bullet for competition and can get for $88 per 1k.

Not getting onto a rush will take my time and make sure everything is right, so some of you experts may get a few PM's from me.

and yes if i mess up i will post it here if my brudder can handle the ing then so can I.
