I decided a few months ago to start saving my brass.

I just seperated it. Holy crap. I figured 20 min... it had to have taken 2 freakin hours. At least it seemed like it.

I have some 9mm, 40 SW, .45 and .223 but 9mm won by a landslide. Can't say how many. Here is a pic.

Will have a few hundred more of each after tomorrow's range visit.

Is this enough brass to justify reloading equipment? I want a nice setup if I buy one, something that I will not want to upgrade 2 months later. Also, having just fallen in love with my 10mm pistol I will be needing to learn how to do this just to afford to shoot the damned thing.

Cheers,
Jonathan

You've got more than you need. The amount of brass you need is determined by the frequency at which you would like to reload multiplied by the frequency you shoot said brass.

I've got like 20 pieces of brass for 44 magnum but I don't shoot it that much. On the other hand I have buckets of 45.
