I put my primers on the back side of a square piece of a carpet tile. I load all the shiny ones then take another square and place it on top. Flip the whole deal over then proceed to load all the rest that are now shiny side up.

Well i can load 100 rounds for about $20 and going rate for wwb of 100 is $45 so at 25 saved per 100 so far saved $500 ish if math is correct but when you reload you dont save cuz you shoot way more. Its a good thing though

FYI just did the math and you save about 227$ per thousand. So i would have to load up 5200 rounds to break even. Well i am already ahead being my dad bought the actual press i am already about even for my out of pocket. This only if you dont buy rounds in bulk then the number would be about 60% of that number.
