I saw one at the gun show this weekend. Not sure how much they were asking but you could always go there and start looking.

Fortunate for me Dad had a couple presses he could spare so my start up costs were minimal.



I did the math for myself since I had minimal start up cost (thanks to Dad). To re-load 380, I'd save about half. It is less than that now that the cost came down but I still do it for the enjoyment.

I am quite a bit more accurate with my reloads versus factory.

Yeah when I get back and move back to TX (Looking at ending up in San Antonio) I'll probably setup a reloading bench in the garage or get a small workshop going, then I'll start hunting for the press/gear at local gunshows and other avenues of cheaper "well loved" gear.


And yes, the more expensive the rounds you use, the more you'll save, and then you do have the benefit of putting in the powder and bullets you prefer, which hopefully will give you that "match ammo" feeling at the line like you've got going for you there RD

Care to share the details of your reloading gear?
