I reload and cast for 380, 9mm, 40, 45, 357, 30carbine, and 30/30. Then just reload for 223, 243, 308. Two progressives, two single stages and a turret press. Mostly reload during the winter since I have free time, no yard work to do. I haven't bought ammo in years. Also helps when you have a friend that works at a range so brass or lead is never in short supply.

I have a butt load of 30 carbine brass, you interested ?

I sold my carbine :(
 
my buddies are all into progressive loading, i use and old 1960 herters single stage, it is just right for me. while they worry about squibs.

i KNOW each case is exactly what i want it to be.

If they're worried about squibs, they're not doing it right. I am just as worried about squibs on my progressive press as I am on my single stage... Except that I can knock out several hundred rounds an hour in my progressive, but not my single stage.
 
I use to reload. I brewed extract and had a RCBS rock chucker. I own a 550b with all the major calibers, primers, powder and bullets. I've take up running marathons and brewing two or three times a month. I have no time to reload, ammo ready to be shot and reloaded and a couple different beers fermenting. I won't sell the 550 because I know it's worth keeping however I've cut my hobbies by 33% focusing on running and brewing. Beer and running go together. Beer and guns really shouldn't. I think I need a 650 with a case feeder.
 
very true very true, drinking is for when your off and sitting on the porch.
not for when you are eithr reloading or shooting.

when i reload i will not allow a tv, radio, or computer. i devote 100% concentration to the task at hand.

it is a zin kind of thing.

as far as drinking goes while handeling fire arms.

strickly forbidden,

I grew up in a household full of guns, I have been shooting since I could stand at a card table and hold the rifle up.

safety was drilled into my head over and over.
Are you familiar with the "GIB'S" slap ?
it is a gentle but quite effective slap on the back of your head for not paying attention.
that was Dad's slap, WAAAAAAy before Gib's
when i was young, Dad would use paper plates as targets. he would tell me
aim at the nail {it was in the middle,holding it up]
then, I started hitting that nail.
Why the hell are you aiming at the damn nail?
LOL...
now he had to walk back down and nail it back up

Anyone who drinks and shoots in my opinion, should have their guns takin away. 2nd amendment or not.
it is not tolerated HERE.

their is a time to party and a time to be serious
any fool with half a damn brain should be able to figure that out
 
I recently sold my Dillon XL650. I had loaded 46,000 rounds of 9mm and .45ACP on it for use in IDPA matches until I got burned out.
 
Here are a couple of pictures from a few years ago of my setup. Currently, everything is in boxes at my new house, but I should have my reloading station up and running by the end of the winter.
