I ordered everything I need from www.midwayusa.com to start reloading 40 S&W ammo. With ammo prices constantly on the rise, reloading makes sense. I bought the Lee 4 hole turret deluxe reloading kit, which includes the press, auto disk powder measure, and safety scale for $90. I bought a 4 die carbide set in 40 S&W, and the Lee safety prime feeder. This covers all the equipment I will need. I went down to my local gun store and bought 2lbs of alliant unique powder, 1500 160 grain FMJ bullets, and 1000 primers. If all this stuff arrives on Wednsday, I'm gonna set it all up and start jamming out ammo on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it, this will be my first foray into reloading. I've got probably 2500 rounds of 40 brass sitting in my basement.
I've done the math, I can reload my own 40 ammo for about 10 cents a round, versus 20 cents on factory ammo.
