Also, there were a LOT Of folks who said that loading rounds such as the .380, .25 ACP, ect wasn't "worth it"......then the Obama administration came into being, panic buying ensued, and all those folks who posted that reloading these cartridges 'wasn't worth it' were posting asking where they could find ammo, or if they could find someone to reload for them.

I bought 3 boxes of Remington "Sportsman" steel loads in 3" and after using the first box the only thing I use the other 2 boxes for is to finish off cripples with a headshot. I still cannot bring myself to twisting their necks. That is about all that "Sportsman" stuff should be used for. Complete poop if you ask me.
