[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3931194, member: 27284"] There are different ways to look at something, a different perspective if you will Forget the "saving money" idea momentarily. Reloading will allow you to shoot MORE for the same amount. Whatever "savings" you think you may get will be the ability to shoot More. And that is EXACTLY what will happen if you stick with it. And for me, at least, it gives me peace of mind that, if the price zooms up like crazy, and components get scare/stupid expensive, I can sit down and load some rounds and go shoot when others can NOT go shooting because they can't find/afford brand new factory ammo. You need some $$$, but to me it's nice to be able to sit upon a lot of bullets, primers, powder and such, just sitting there waiting in the closet to be used. You may not be able to "see" that right now, but for those of us who have been around reloading for decades do see the difference. I started reloading in 1984-ish when my brother gave me a Lee Load-All in 12 gauge. I was hooked! I upgraded to a couple of MEC Sizemasters in 12 & 20, and also a RCBS Rockchucker and a Lee 1000 which worked darn well for me. When you look back and realize you were paying a penny or 2 for a primer, practically nothing for powder, wads, shot, bullets etc, and if you'd spent heavily for a stash, later when the chit hit the fan clinton style, you could still do what you did and go shooting. The only cheap day was yesterday. [/QUOTE]
