    Technically I would, but my current home is really small I really have no space for all that equipment. I also hear that it's not worth it at this current time because ammo prices are so low. That's just what I hear not saying is true or not.

    My entire setup folds up into a drawer. I reload for .45 ACP, .38/.357. If you are shooting primarily 9mm, it's still really cheap to buy factory ammo.

    If all you are going to do is blast away and not care, then don't worry about reloading right now. If you want more accurate ammo than factory bulk ammo, for a bit less than factory bulk ammo, then reload.

    I'm generating match grade 308 for about 50 cents per round. During the Obama years that same match grade ammo from the factory was $1.50-2.50 a round, depending on sale or rebate. Right now factory match ammo is about $1.00 a round. See where this is starting to go?

    Yeah I see that's just what I was told didn't go any further into it. I just got some bad news my application was put on hold.

    That shoulder bag would be useful for the same role I consider fanny packs , but more with current trends, and not expose you to as much ribbing on MDS :

    Camouflaged gun case ; and least worst way to carry if the uniform of the day is Speedo's and flip flops .

    Best thing from my side.

    Go to the next local gun show. There will be several vendors selling range bags. Look at them, see what looks good, buy it and use it.

    Then, if is not working out for you, decide WHY and buy another one without those flaws.

    They are not that expensive, and if you get around to having more firearms, having more than one range bag is common.

    I have several for pistols. One small one for a single handgun and ammo to the range. I used this when I was shooting a .22 rimfire bulleyes league.

    I have a larger one that was my USPSA pistol bag. One pistol, mags, some basic supplied, timer, so forth.

    And a larger bag for taking a number of firearms to the range.

    Except for the USPSA bag, the handguns are in individual pistol rugs (soft cases) to keep them to dinging each other.
