    Is there anyone on these forms or retail who will reload for me? Or is that even worth it?

    I'm sure there are people here willing to help show/teach you how to reload. In most cases people wont do it for you. Liability and all. I'm also sure there are people willing to take all your collected brass off your hands ;)

    It is illegal to sell reloaded ammo without a license. You could sell the brass to someone to help yourself puchase more ammo moving forward. I may be interested depending on the caliber.

    Shoot me a pm if interested in sale or trade.

    A gun range wouldn't stop you from collecting your own brass would they? As long as it not beyond the firing line of course.

    Probably, a good idea to tell people where you are located. Someone might let you pull the handle a couple hundred times providing you bring all your components. I only let close friends and family use my equipment under supervision.

    I bet if you threw in a couple hundred extra primers or some powder for the wear and tear on their equipment, you might get an offer from someone nearby. Not, me, but someone might.

    For the past 10 years I have saved my brass at the range, thinking I would start reloading. Well I am so glad I did, as I started reloading, and have most of the brass. My only downfall was saving the berdan primed aussie 308 I had, learned a lot about berdan primers with those. Learned that RCBS customer service, even if you tell them you are a dumbass, sends you free replacement parts.

    FYI...In case you are reading and do not know, berdan primers break your depriming tool, at least they broke my RCBS deprimer.

    Buy a Lee universal de-primer, they don't break. Roughly about $15 a piece. I have one on all of my turrets. You just never know when one piece of Berdan-primed piece of brass will find it's way into the mix.

    I have a revolver and kept my used brass from indoor gun range no problems.
    hubby reloads but has not done so in several yrs. I would never trust strangers to do reloads I'd buy more if I can afford to do so,
    but thats just my .02 cents

    Lol that's funny, I broke three pins last week while processing a couple thousand rounds of 223. Even the Lee pins will break when depriming large amounts of crimped boxer primed brass. I buy extra pins by the dozen.
