Total noob has a question

I looked all over the place for a dud box and couldn't find one. The range is basically always deserted, you need a code to get in and there usually is no administration there in the clubhouse, so I couldn't ask anyone either. I will find out about a dud box the next time I see someone in there, maybe on the weekend. I was there at 4 in the afternoon on tuesday, btw. I didn't feel good about leaving it there but I didn't know what to do. I'll get a bullet puller asap. Don't exactly want to handle a misfired bullet though either....guess that's what you have to do if you load your own...wonder how many people get killed/hurt like that..

Wow this has been a learning experience. Ithought I'D get to shoot and practice for cheaper....it keeps getting more expensive lol. I like being self sufficient though, and I have most of the stuff....so hopefully it doesn't cost me over a grand to be able to do this correctly, but it's not looking good at this point money wise.

Expensive

It doesn't have to be expensive, don't buy all the tools at once. I started out with just a basic press kit from Lee. Bought the other tools as I went along, replaced the cheaper parts from the kit as I got more money together. Still buying more stuff and better stuff even now and I've been reloading for years. I have 4 different presses now and 3 different means for throwing powder two different scales, etc.
Reloading won't save you any money, when someone told you that what they meant was you can produce more ammunition cheaper. You will just shoot 4 times as much and your ammo will be tailored to suit your shooting and your specific firearms. You,ll still shoot till your broke, laff.
