Thread: Is reloading much cheaper??

You can spend as much or as little as you want but like all things you get what you pay for, is it cheaper for me to reload? Hell no, I would have to load 1000's of rounds before I started to get even close because I bought good gear and I'm only using my reloads for hunting.

What price do you put on a hobby or sport?

For me pros; great accurate ammo = can be confident in hitting your target which means meat on the table, you can load different weighted projectiles where you may struggle to buy the factory ammo you want in the shop, you can load a fresh batch just before heading out, provided you have the right dies you can load what calibre you want depending on what riffle you decide to take and what terrain you decide to go and hunt, and it's a joy to use good gear for example A&D scales, 21st centry handpriming tool, Mitutoyo callipers, Redding press and Redding compitition dies just to name a few and last of all its a great hobby and satisfying knowing your home loads provided the meat on the dinner table.

Everyones situation is different and you can reload good ammo with less expensive gear, you may be into hunting or target shooting.

If you are a hunter and you want the cheapest option then buy a box or two of factory ammo, find one your riffle likes and then buy a few boxes so you have enough to last.

If money is no option and you want a cool hobby that will give you satisfaction and be able to load the projectiles of your choice then get into reloading.

It's probably the equivilent to your Mrs doing the sewing, ENJOY!
