Do you guys that reload shoot enough to justify the expense or do you do it as much for the fun? I go shooting weekly as a member of a private range 10 miles from my house and I have five acres in the country so it's legal to shoot off my back porch and many neighbors do have small ranges setup. Even doing that it would be difficult to justify the expense of the reloading equipment.

I have a TBAC-22TD and love it. Baffles clean right up in the sonic cleaner. No high power TBAC cans.

I've been in the queue for the AAC since late August. They were out about a year at one point, but the queue is shrinking with more output and slightly less demand. Then again, since the resurface of AAC at PSA and their "no warrantee" statements, I have feeling more will be jumping on conversions and/or recores. I don't recall if ECCO can jailbreak an AAC, perhaps. If he can recore, he should be able to jailbreak one.

I was thinking about picking up my adapters and muzzle devices a week or so ago thinking I surely must be coming up soon and left them all sitting in a cart. Got a heads up today they would be calling the next batch starting Monday and went to checkout and some were OOS. They're plentiful elsewhere, just had to pay a little more.

I'll be putting all my AAC muzzle devices up on the popular local gun board soon. I have one local guy already in the queue for some. The ECCO conversion is only $200 but replacing all the muzzle devices can be a bit of an expense. I could buy another rifle can.

I'll be hand delivering them as they're local to me and he's also going to swap a flash hider that needs a pin/weld on my 14.5 Noveske Recce I never bothered to SBR.

What sonic cleaner do you recommend? I’ll be getting my Dead Air Mask HD (Ti) sometime this year

I did not purchase it to save money. I purchased it to make sure I was able to protect my family when the supply of ammo becomes… what it is now! I purchased supplies to make sure we are able to to stay ahead of this administration and to protect my 2nd Amendment rights.

I think the cost of reloading is cheaper but it will take a lot of reloading to justify the purchase. Freedom does come at a price!

I ask because I have several friends that reload for accuracy they say. However I think they do it because they enjoy it. Had it not been for the fishing accident when all my ammo went overboard with the guns I would have enough ammo to last a lifetime. I bought in bulk years ago.

I wanted a Hornady 2Ltr but even with camelcamelcamel I seem to miss the sale prices.

In lieu of, just about any of the chicom cleaners on Amazon will do unless you can score a used commercial unit from a dental office or eslewhere.

This one had decent reviews and has worked fine so far. I like that it has a drain and I avoided the push button digiital controls as the pads seem to be problematic.

I got into reloading during the Obama administration. I was shooting alot and there wasn't much ammo on the shelves but reloading supplies were plentiful. I found that I actually enjoyed the process. I bought supplies to do pretty much all of the calibers that I shoot. Once obummer was gone and ammo was cheap and plentiful, I stock piled that and saved my reloading stuff. The only things I've done in the last couple of years is hunting rounds. I can do my prairie dog rounds (.223 VMAX) for under 20 cents a round. That is a huge savings at current prices and I worked up a load that is better than the off the shelf stuff. Also did quite a few lead .45 acp that were super cheap and great for punching holes in paper. I just use a cheap single stage Lee press and some rcbs stuff. Id like to eventually upgrade to a progressive but I currently don't shoot enough to justify it.

That's been debuted at SHOT about 5 years plus now. The guy that invented it used to make it for the 1050. It's now made for the 750. Dillon won't warranty their presses using it.

Yes you absolutely save money reloading. If you shoot enough it saves a ton! You can use a reloading cost calculator app and see for yourself.

My Warbird rounds along are 5-8 bucks a shot! I can reload it for a buck, even with today's prices! That's big savings.

9mm now days there are savings and for 223. Back in the day 9mm was a wash almost and you could save little on 223.

I do it for cost savings and for accuracy. Plus it's a hobby

Oh dang! I actually did not know that—thought it was a Dillion product?

Changed up the EDC knife a while back (stock photo "Phaeton")

That double edge blade I was carrying before is too dangerous for pocket knife duty.

Just picked this up 2nd hand after eye banging them for too long. Have to get it to the range for checkout before I carry it. Will probably just upgrade the trigger. Not a fan of striker pistols, but the positives outweigh the negatives on this one.
