I'll third that motion............and its carried. (sound of my meat tenderizing "gavel" hitting the cutting board.)
I had some friends come in this week on short notice. I ordered some new bullets at the beginning of the week (1000) to reload and take them shooting by today. Since the order won't come in until next week, I went out and bought 3 boxes of "cheap" practice ammo at the gun shops.
That stuff cost almost as much as my order of bullets when you factor in cost of gas to get them!!! I know that they have overhead and have to make a profit, but the few shop around here that sell handgun ammo charge over 100% of what I can order it for!
To answer your question. If you want to do a lot of shooting and don't mind spending a bunch to get started; invest in a single stage press, or get a good reasonably priced progressive press like the Lee Load Master. In the long run you'll save yourself a bunch more, or at least do a lot more shooting w/out spitting quarters down range.
