Think my first attempt at making a holster will be for the old k frame .38 I got from my dad. Pretty excited.

Well, I’m taking Christmas week off, so I dusted my reloading setup off (been a few years) and got back to it loading about 300 rounds of .45 ACP. 200 grain LSWC. I was a little rusty at first but it’s like riding a bicycle, the rhythm comes back quickly. Here’s my setup.
The result …
My production rate is about 150 rounds per hour, and I used to figure I save about 25 cents per round, so my time works out to about $37.50 per hour. But I enjoy it, and SWMBO doesn’t come into the basement to bug me the whole time, so time well spent, says I!

Yeah, my components are years old. I don’t see LPP for any less than 8-10 cents per primer these days. Mine are probably more like 3 cents, and I still have 4-5 bricks left.
Remington went out of the primer business a while ago, but restarted again, I’m not sure what their production rate is these days. The war in Ukraine and the current re-arming of the US military isn’t helping, I’m sure. The best I’ve heard lately is about 6 cents per for US on sale or for foreign brands. It stinks.

@DomnioMaestro Found some CCI #300 LPP for $63 for a brick (1,000). Remington 2-1/2 for $65. About as good as I think you can find at present.
