[QUOTE="JPK, post: 1558040, member: 14690"] There are any number of reasons to hand load (reload). One is to save money per round. Another is to get you out of the house - which is easy to do if your other half likes shooting, too. :). Another is to bring you closer to the sport, not to mention better scores and groups. Rolling your own adds a different and somehow special dimension to shooting. You are more in control of cartridge / bullet performance if you studiously cast, lube, weigh bullets and charges, brass and primers manufacturers, et cetera and record that info. You will find yourself beginning to test different published loads to see what works best in a given gun. You will also begin to think about your role in the act of shooting: sight alignment, trigger squeeze, breath control, ad infinitum. Internal and External ballistics - but I begin to digress. Just my 2 cents!! [/QUOTE]
