If I can get myself to clean up a corner of the garage so I can set up a re-loading bench area I might just do that.  I certainly have the time now since I'm retired.
I have a lee 9mm hand loader you can start with. And 270 win hand loader.

Thanks for the offer but I don't have 9mm or a 270.  But I was thinking of a simple handloader for .44 Mag just to get started.

Here is a link:

I started out reloading this way.

Thanks for the link! 

This is exactly what I had in mind just to start off, and I've watched a bit of videos on this type of beginning handloader.  Also the investment is minimal just in case I realize hand loading is not my cup of tea, which I sincerely doubt.

Should be enough to just load range ammo and since it's a revolver round I don't think one have to be as meticulous when loading initially.

Good luck and be safe!

I keep seeing, "I Want to Shoot My Firearms..." pop up in my Unread Posts list.

What did your firearms ever do to you?   :geekdanc:

Besides making a dent in my pocketbook?  Not much, Lol!  But I do always blame them for missing the targets.... :rofl:

Come to think of it, if I ever did try to "shoot them" out of frustration I'd probably miss. ;D

I was thinking of reloading years ago but I just am so concerned about screwing things up. I have 38 spc dies and a single stage press that was given to me including powder scale and other reloading accessories. Saved a bunch of once fired brass in 38 spc, 357 mag, 9mm, 45 ACP, and 223 cal. But even if I was motivated to reload, no can find primers and powder.

I'll just sit on my ammo and see what happens in the future. Hopefully this shortage and liberal climate will change for the better.
