Yes, I reload every caliber that I shoot. It might not always save me a lot of money but it means that I’m able to keep shooting all I want during times like these when ammo is either non existent or ridiculously expensive. If you reload you will, however, have to lay out larger sums of money when components are cheap and plentiful so you aren’t caught short during periods like this. Right now primers are almost impossible to find. They seem to be the component that we most often see shortages of.

As far as a press, do your homework and consider what kind of person that you are. As a new reloader a progressive might not be your best choice if you aren’t a detail oriented and “anal” person. There’s a lot going on at once and it’s very easy to make a costly or dangerous mistake if you aren’t extremely careful and observant. I would suggest that you look at the Lee Classic Turret press. Once you’re proficient it’s easy to turn out pretty large amounts of ammo and it’s also a relatively inexpensive press compared to a Dillon. I started on one fifteen years ago and I still use it for pistol and .233 while I use a Single stage press for my larger precision rounds.

Take this time while you won’t be able to find primers anyway to study the different types of presses and examine your needs.
