Les here from the DFW area. I've been reloading about a year and a half now. I have a CZ 85, Ruger SR9, '71 Remington 700 270, '68 Sako Forester 243, Ruger Mini-14, Ruger SR22, and an old Rossi 22 pump rifle. I first learned to reload using the whack it with hammer method. I still do this for 270, 223, and 243 because I don't shoot them as much. I have a Lee Loadmaster set up for 9mm and don't plan on ever changing it. I just hope I don't run out of powder before I can find some more.
