I usually load a lot of cartridges at a time, then don't load anything for several years. Stopped loading 9mm and .45 ACP long ago. With handguns, it's just revolvers for me. Factory stuff works ok for a semi auto.
Started recently on .38 special brass. Have about 400 now decapped, sized, and expanded and primed.
Yesterday, started working on 600 .44 Mag brass. Same routine, decap, resize, expand and prime. Today, I loaded 200 of those, using 10 grains of Unique, once fired cases and 240 grain LSWC lead bullets.
500 .45 Colt cases are next. I have enough powder, primers, bullets and cases to load probably a couple of thousand more.
Keeps me off the streets, and out of trouble.
