Hi guys, thinking about starting to reload for my 300 wby, been doing some calculations and after the math I come up to about $1.00 per round in materials picking up my own shells after shooting, (I have about 80 factory Weatherby, and 40 Remington shells)
Also, would like some opinions on how many times is safe to reload this shells?
Pardon my ignorance but I never reloaded before, and want to make sure I’m doing this thing right and I don’t over spend specially when the factory Weatherby bullets are about $2.00 a round out there.
Is it worth the aggravation and risk of making a mistake and damaging your rifle and Potentially myself?
I’m planning to read and educate myself pretty good before I pull the trigger in this endeavor, to reduce the user error factor.
Is there a risk for some defective primers or bad powder etc?
I see a 50% savings (that’s not counting the initial investment in some decent equipment). Planning to get Hornady stuff (95100) but I’m not worried about that.
Of course once I get the hang of it I will start reloading other calibers I have, like 9mm, 40 S&W, 38 special, 357mag, 5.56, 45acp, .50ae and 500S&W, but I tell you what, if I get a Big Bang or a damaged weapon I will probably stop doing this in a heartbeat for good.
I Don’t target practice with the 300 wby but I’m worried about this communists trying to take our guns or perhaps our bullets.
I was born and raised in Cuba, a messed up country under dictatorship where you couldn’t bear arms to protect yourself and others, so you would have a idea about my trauma, came here 30 years ago with 20 years of age and swore to protect the constitution of this country and my family at any cost when I became a citizen, and will not run again.
I do some decent shooting, not every day, but I have a few expensive caliber guns.
Any advice and opinions will be appreciated. Thanks for responses in advance. Ricky.
