RE: Considering reloading but...
If you want to save some money and buy some time till you can afford a tumbler to clean your brass, then you can pick up a Lee Case trimmer that goes into a drill for about $5 and while you have the shell in it you can use a piece of steel wool and it will get the brass all shiney again. Its not as good as going through the tumbler where it will get both inside and out clean, (I know, not so much the inside, but it does a bit). Also, by priming your own shells it will save you a bit more per round. Basically you are paying whoever you are buying your brass from about $0.25 per round to prime your cases with the cheapest primers that they can throw in there, when primers are only about $2 per 100. I actually kind of enjoy the deprime/prime phase of doing things with my Classic Lee Hand loader. No press involved, just a hammer and dies and a punch.
