Re: Newbie question - DIY ammo vs dealer ammo?
I shoot about 100-200 rounds every time I go, since Im a newbie I need more ammo to train.... easily a few grand per month so I guess reloading will make sense for me.
P.S where can I buy good reloading equipment? Dealer told me it cost something like R50k - R130k for a good equipment.... something tells me they rather sell me the ammo than having me reload....

Re: Newbie question - DIY ammo vs dealer ammo?
Its called supply and demand. Frontier doesn't really have any real competition in South Africa. There have been
others that have tried but their quality was not up to standard. They often produced bad leading. Some may still be
producing CMJ ammo. If there was realistic competition the price would have to drop. I know that at one stage PMP cartridges were selling cheaper in the US than in SA.

Have a look at 2nd hand Lee reloading equipment. Most presses are around R 2500, add a few extras like scale, callipers and you can set up a reloading station for under R 4000.00

Re: Newbie question - DIY ammo vs dealer ammo?
The bullet is the part that comes out the end of the barrel. A cartridge or round is an assembled bullet, primer, case and hopefully powder.
I suggest a reloading manual to understand the principles
