    So I have a portion of cash from a buy out coming and while I will be reinvesting most of it I wanted to ask where my best RROI (Reloading return on investment) will come from? AutoTrickler V3 or an AMP annealer?
     
    There is no ROI on any reloading equipment ever. It is a justification to spend more money, bottom line. I’ve gone through close to half a million primers, at least 50 lbs of powder, god knows how many bullets, and still digging a hole in my bank account to this day. Break even? Hah.

    Perhaps AROI is a better acronym? Accuracy Return on Investment.

    I have a V3 Autotrickler and an Annie annealer (which works great). If I could only keep one, I would keep the V3. Like I said, I like the Annie, but annealing is more of an optional item for me.

    i have a V3 and an AMP and would not get rid of either one but if i was just starting and on a budget hands down the V3...i shot out a couple of barrels before ever annealing a piece of brass...and before i had a V3...i loaded on a scott parker beam for several years and trickled with a redding manual trickler.

    You could always give it to me , I can think of really neat things to do with your money if your having problems deciding . Lol no really I have a want list of fire arms that's 9 notebooks long and reloading equipment to boot . If you ever think you are not sure what to do with money think no more hand it over . And watch what organized firearm shopping spree would look like oh happy days . All jokes aside you should spend your money on things you want either personally or on a wife or a hooker to be your wife they are an expensive investment or a hooker and doctor cost after the hooker still cheaper than a wife adopt kids or have them there is not much return on those ungrateful beasts or a loyal dog that will love you as long as you feed it once in a while better than kids not as much fun as a wife . Invest if your thinking you will be around later in life after 70 mostly cause you know the ungrateful children will put you in a home and take your money the first time they have to change your diaper . To be able to enjoy it cause after a divorce the wife will take 1/2 or more anyway you really did not want that part which is why you invested it . Good luck have fun you only live once you can do it .

    No wife or kids just a long distance girlfriend (with fully grown kids) that is perfectly happy to see me buy what ever makes me happy! She did want a Glock so that was her valentines day present and I'm headed to Vegas this weekend to present it to her but point taken so... Fuck it! I'm getting them both!

    I would say Autotrickler.

    My view on it, time is money. If I can get my reloading done accurately and quickly in the limited amount of time I have, I'm all over the tools that help that happen.
